A tool for simulating superparamagnetic systems

Abstract

We introduce a software aimed to provide with a better understanding over the behavior of superparamagnetic systems under external magnetic fields that does not require previous knowledge in coding. Our simulator generates the magnetization behavior according to many variables such as temperature, saturation magnetization, and the average diameter of the magnetic moment. The problem is tackled in a very simple way via the Langevin function. Our work ultimately seeks to assist learning in nanostructured magnetic materials, quite often a bit hard to grasp by many students, thereby also being of use for prominent researchers in the field.
