Abstract
Magnetic viscosity is studied as a function of the conditions under which the measured sample is prepared and it is shown that rapidly relaxing components cannot contribute to the observed relaxation process. The resultant magnetic viscosity then does not monotonically increase with increasing thermal relaxation rate but exhibits a local maximum associated with the transition between the fast and slow relaxation regimes. Related transitional phenomena and experimental results are discussed. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
