(a) The applied field directions of one-, two-, and three-jump loops, varying with temperature. The dashed line indicates the direction of the applied field at θ H = 108° (b) Energy differences Δ E 135°− δ →45°+ δ (blue), Δ E 315°− δ →225°+ δ (black), Δ E 225°+ δ →315°− δ (red), and Δ E 45°+ δ →315°− δ (green) as a function of the applied field for sample at θ H = 108°. The inset is schematic diagram of the two- and three-jump magnetization switching process.
