Influence of fourfold anisotropy form on hysteresis loop shape in ferromagnetic nanostructures

The dependence of the form of different mathematical depictions of fourfold magnetic anisotropies has been examined, using a simple macro-spin model. Strong differences in longitudinal and transverse hysteresis loops occur due to deviations from the usual phenomenological model, such as using absolu...
