When no external field is applied, the antiferromagnetic structure corresponds to a vanishing total magnetization. In an external magnetic field, a kind of ferrimagnetic behavior may be displayed in the antiferromagnetic phase, with the absolute value of one of the sublattice magnetizations differing from that of the other sublattice, resulting in a nonzero net magnetization.
Magnetostriction is a property of magnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization.The variation of materials' magnetization due to the applied magnetic field changes the magnetostrictive strain until reaching its saturation value, λ.
In electromagnetism, the magnetic susceptibility (from Latin susceptibilis 'receptive'; denoted χ, chi) is a measure of how much a material will become magnetized in an applied magnetic field. It is the ratio of magnetization M ( magnetic moment per unit volume ) to the applied magnetic field intensity H .
A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field [1]) is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, [2]: ch1 [3] and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field.
The first material where an intrinsic linear magnetoelectric effect was predicted theoretically and confirmed experimentally was Cr 2 O 3. [8] [9] This is a single-phase material. Multiferroics are another example of single-phase materials that can exhibit a general magnetoelectric effect [11] if their magnetic and electric orders are coupled.
Below the magnetization compensation point, ferrimagnetic material is magnetic. At the compensation point, the magnetic components cancel each other, and the total magnetic moment is zero. Above the Curie temperature, the material loses magnetism. Ferrimagnetism has the same physical origins as ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism.
The validity of Ampère's model means that it is allowable to think of the magnetic material as if it consists of current-loops, and the total effect is the sum of the effect of each current-loop, and so the magnetic effect of a real magnet can be computed as the sum of magnetic effects of tiny pieces of magnetic material that are at a distance ...
The default definition of magnetic remanence is the magnetization remaining in zero field after a large magnetic field is applied (enough to achieve saturation). [1] The effect of a magnetic hysteresis loop is measured using instruments such as a vibrating sample magnetometer ; and the zero-field intercept is a measure of the remanence.
