Fundamentals of Magnetic Materials
Magnetic Materials: BSNL TTA JE
Materials that can be magnetized, which are also the ones that are strongly attracted to a magnet, are called ferromagnetic(or ferrimagnetic). These include iron, nickel, cobalt, some alloys of rare earth metals, and some naturally occurring minerals such as lodestone.
Type of Magnetism | Susceptibility | Atomic / Magnetic Behaviour | Example / Susceptibility | ||
Diamagnetism | Small & negative. | Atoms have no magnetic moment | Au Cu | -2.74x10-6-0.77x10-6 | |
Paramagnetism | Small & positive. | Atoms have randomly oriented magnetic moments | β-Sn Pt Mn | 0.19x10-6 21.04x10-6 66.10x10-6 | |
Ferromagnetism | Large & positive, function of applied field, microstructure dependent. | Atoms have parallel aligned magnetic moments | Fe | ~100,000 | |
Antiferromagnetism | Small & positive. | Atoms have mixed parallel and anti-parallel aligned magnetic moments | Cr | 3.6x10-6 | |
Ferrimagnetism | Large & positive, function of applied field, microstructure dependent | Atoms have anti-parallel aligned magnetic moments | Ba ferrite | ~3 |
