In the Stoner-Wohlfarth model, a uniaxial, non-interacting particle is cooled to very low temperature with no exposure to an external field. Therefore, the orientation of each particle is random, if you have a group of particles. In their paper, they integrate such that:
[tex]\langle \cos (\Theta )\rangle =\int_0^{\frac{\pi }{2}} \sin (\Theta ) \cos (\Theta ) \, d\Theta[/tex]
I am having a hard time understanding why they only integrate from 0 to pi over two, instead of 0 to pi. Can anyone shine any enlightenment on this?
