  2. Ferromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism

    Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet. Ferromagnetic materials are noticeably attracted to a magnet, which is a consequence of their substantial ...

  3. Paramagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramagnetism

    Category. v. t. e. Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism whereby some materials are weakly attracted by an externally applied magnetic field, and form internal, induced magnetic fields in the direction of the applied magnetic field. In contrast with this behavior, diamagnetic materials are repelled by magnetic fields and form induced magnetic ...

  4. Magnetochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetochemistry

    Magnetochemistry is concerned with the magnetic properties of chemical compounds. Magnetic properties arise from the spin and orbital angular momentum of the electrons contained in a compound. Compounds are diamagnetic when they contain no unpaired electrons. Molecular compounds that contain one or more unpaired electrons are paramagnetic.

  5. Magnetic alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_alloy

    A magnetic alloy is a combination of various metals from the periodic table such as ferrite that exhibits magnetic properties such as ferromagnetism. Typically the alloy contains one of the three main magnetic elements (which appear on the Bethe-Slater curve): iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), or cobalt (Co). However, alloys such as Heusler alloys ...

  6. Curie temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature

    Metals. Above the Curie temperature, the atoms are excited, and the spin orientations become randomized [8] but can be realigned by an applied field, i.e., the material becomes paramagnetic. Below the Curie temperature, the intrinsic structure has undergone a phase transition, [15] the atoms are ordered, and the material is ferromagnetic. [11]

  7. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. and attracts or repels other magnets. A permanent magnet is an object made from a material ...

  8. Ferrimagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrimagnetism

    Ferrite, a ceramic compound, is one of the most common examples of a ferrimagnetic material. A ferrimagnetic material is a material that has populations of atoms with opposing magnetic moments, as in antiferromagnetism, but these moments are unequal in magnitude, so a spontaneous magnetization remains. [1] This can for example occur when the ...

  9. Magnetic domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_domain

    A magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material in which the magnetization is in a uniform direction. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and they point in the same direction. When cooled below a temperature called the Curie temperature, the magnetization of a piece of ferromagnetic ...
