12. While σ HK is the dominating factor defining the variance of the switching fields σ HS, it is not the only one, because the grain orientation as well as the grain volume also contribute to the local switching field HS. A methodology to measure the orientation distribution magnetically can be found in A. Berger, E. Marinero, M. Doerner, X. Bian, K. Tang, and A. Polcyn, J. Appl. Phys. 97, 10N115 (2005).
