We use the micromagnetic simulation to investigate the reversible and irreversible magnetization processes of the single-domain elliptical permalloy thin films. The reversible magnetization curve without hysteresis obtained by magnetizing the single-domain elliptical permalloy thin film along the hard axis is almost linear as are single-domain ellipsoidal particles. For irreversible processes with hysteresis, the switching field of the ellliptical thin film is reduced compared with that predicted by the Stoner–Wohlfarth model due to the occurrence of non-uniform reversal.
