    Abstract:

    Several models for predicting the effect of grain size on the coercive field are presented and discussed.
    For small grain size, near the mono domain grain size, a law Hc ~ 1 / D0.5 has been observed [1]. Here, Hc is the coercive field and D is the grain size. For sintered NdFeB and Strontium ferrites, the Hc ~ 1 / D0.5 law has been experimentally confirmed.
    For very large grain size, however, a case of soft magnetic materials as electric steels, a Hc ~ 1 / D is observed [2].
    The origin of these different behaviors is discussed [3].
    We also discuss how to evaluate the effect of grain size on the coercive field by means of a nucleation model.
