Notes:
Some magnetic properties of amorphous ferromagnets are well described within the random-anisotropy real-space model. This model assumes that the neighboring spins are ferromagnetically coupled with each other, and that there is a local magnetic anisotropy whose axes are correlated over a small length Ra due to short-range structural order. The system is characterized by a small parameter λ∼R2aK/A which depends on temperature and on the concentration of magnetic atoms via the local anisotropy K and exchange constant A. In zero magnetic field the local magnetization smoothly rotates over the solid with a characteristic length Rf =Ra/λ2. The zero-field susceptibility is very sensitive to the exchange, the anisotropy, and the amorphous structure: χ∝A3K−4R−6a. The magnetization law in approaching saturation (M→M0) is universal (M0−M)∝1/(H)1/2 for H〈2A/M0R2a. These and other predictions of the model seem to be in a good agreement with many recent experimental results.
