Abstract
The distribution of the hysteresis loss (ƊWh) for films with a high Hc⊥ / Hk ratio shows a monotonically decreasing behaviour with applied field (Ha) while medium and low Hc⊥ / Hk exhibit a double peak characteristic. The high field peak agrees with Hcw as determined from domain observations. By changing the direction of Ha from perpendicular to an in-plane direction, the ƊWh to the in-plane orientation of M is shown.
