Which mechanism causes increased coercive field strength in nanocrystalline magnets?

A)Increased fraction of grain boundaries
B)Reduced magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant
C)Enhanced thermal activation energy
D)Decreased spin-orbit coupling strength

💡 Explanation

Increased grain boundaries impede domain wall motion, enforcing higher fields during demagnetization due to the Random Anisotropy Model. Because domain walls become pinned, therefore a larger field is necessary to reverse magnetization, rather than smaller fields aligning domains.
