Abstract
We simulate Barkhausen avalanches on fractal clusters in a two-dimensional diluted Ising ferromagnet with an effective Gaussian random field. We vary the concentration of defect sites and find a scaling region for moderate disorder, where the distribution of avalanche sizes has the form . The exponents for size and for length distribution, and the fractal dimension of avalanches satisfy the scaling relation . For fixed disorder the exponents vary with driving rate in agreement with experiments on amorphous Si-Fe alloys.
