contents Developing permanent magnets with fewer critical elements requires understanding hysteresis effects and coercivity through visualizing magnetization reversal. Here, we numerically investigate the effect of the geometry of nanoscale ferromagnetic inclusions in a paramagnetic/non-magnetic matrix to understand the key factors that maximize the magnetic energy product of such nanocomposite systems. Specifically, we have considered a matrix of 3 micron x 3 micron x40 nanometer dimension, which is a sufficiently large volume, two-dimensional representation considering that the ferromagnetic inclusions thickness is less than 3.33% of the lateral dimensions simulated. Using this approach that is representative of bulk behavior while being computationally tractable for simulation, we systematically studied the effect of the thickness of ferromagnetic strips, the separation between the ferromagnetic strips due to the nonmagnetic matrix material, and the length of these ferromagnetic strips on magnetic coercivity and remanence by simulating the hysteresis loop plots for each geometry. Furthermore, we study the underlying micromagnetic mechanism for magnetic reversal to understand the factors that could help attain the maximum magnetic energy densities for ferromagnetic nanocomposite systems in a paramagnetic/non-magnetic material matrix. In this study, we have used material parameters of an exemplary Alnico alloy system, a rare-earth-free, thermally stable nanocomposite, which could potentially replace high-strength NdFeB magnets in applications that don't require large energy products. This can stimulate further experimental work on the fabrication and large-scale manufacturing of RE-free PMs with such nanocomposite systems.
