Abstract

The thermal relaxation of the magnetization has been measured in zero applied field as a function of the remanent magnetization in a CoPtCrB thin film with perpendicular magnetization. The remanent magnetization was obtained by partial dc demagnetization by applying a saturation-reverse-zero-field sequence. The initial viscosity was found to be strongly dependent on the initial remanence and the demagnetization field. The initial viscosity was calculated using a mean-field Arrhenius-Neel model giving good agreement with the experimental data.
