Abstract: Abstract: We present the analysis of Barkhausen noise measured on a Nd–Fe–B sintered sample during viscosity experiments at constant applied field H. The measured jump sizes give direct evidence that the dominant magnetization process is the reversal of a single or of a small group of grains. The Barkhausen noise average amplitude allows to evaluate the viscosity coefficient S and the related activation volume . We found nm which is comparable to the domain wall width, in agreement with previous interpretations. The Barkhausen jump sizes show a power-law distribution independent of the time elapsed from the beginning of the relaxation. This fact validates the interpretation of the observed relaxations as due to thermal activation over a distribution of energy barriers. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
