Description

Using a nonequilibrium Monte Carlo method suitable to nanomagnetism, we investigate representative systems of interacting sub-10 nm grained nanomagnets with large uniaxial anisotropy. Various magnetization memory and aging effects are found in such systems. We explain these dynamical effects using the distributed relaxation times of the interacting nanomagnets due to their large anisotropy energies.
