Fractal analysis of magneto-optical images of a magnet surface after exposure to a pulsed field

Abstract

The results of fractal analysis of images of the surface of a permanent magnet KS37 obtained by the method of the polar Kerr effect using an indicator bismuth-containing ferrite-garnet film after magnetization reversal by a pulsed field of 0,1 – 1,5 T are presented. The obtained dependences of the remanent magnetization on the magnitude of the external pulsed field are compared with the fractal dimension of the magneto-optical images of the magnet surface after exposure to the pulsed field. It is hypothesized that the field dependences of the fractal dimension of the profile of magneto-optical images of the magnet surface coincide in shape with the graphs of the first derivative dMr(H)/dH of the magnetization with respect to the field, i.e. there is a relationship between the nature of the magnetization change in a pulsed field and the type of the magneto-optical image analyzed by using the fractal geometry methods.
