Popis: In this paper we will present a study of magnetic viscosity as a function of applied field of CoCrTa/Cr in-plane media. The viscosity versus applied field curves (viscosity curves) of the samples exhibit a sharp peak at remanence coercivity (Hcr). Their activation volume was found to be close to the physical volume of the grains. The experimental viscosity curves are fitted to the simulated curves obtained by using an analytical model of Chantrell et al. [1]. Our simulation results give better understanding of the roles of the distribution function and the energy barrier in the formation of the viscosity curves. Based on the results, the relation between the peak position of the viscosity curves and the values of coercivity and remanence coercivity are explained.
