In this work, the magnetic behaviour of a ferromagnetic particle has been investigated by means of micromagnetic modelling, using the Finite Element Method. The simulations were performed on an ellipsoidal particle with uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy by varying the anisotropy constant, the shape and dimensions of the particle. The results indicate the critical particle size for different reversal modes. Above a critical size the formation and motion of domain walls is clearly observed. The associated nucleation and coercive fields are estimated from the demagnetization curves.
