The effect of threshold level on the temporal avalanche statistics. Characteristic time λ of the exponential process, i.e. typical inter-avalanche time, estimated from the exponential-like distributions of waiting times measured from Barkhausen noise time series recorded in amorphous FeSiB and polycrystalline NiFe ferromagnetic films with different thicknesses. The distributions of waiting times were obtained imposing distinct threshold levels in order to verify the impacts of our choice on the statistical results. The error bars were estimated using the standard deviation.
