This paper presents a frequency-sensitive method for quantifying coercivity in soft magnetic materials using persistent homology. By analyzing the evolution of magnetic domain structures through the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), the work links topological descriptors with coercive force and iron loss — essential metrics for modern magnetic materials.
