Study Notes
Introduction to Magnetic Materials
- Magnetic materials exhibit a range of behaviors in response to magnetic fields
- These behaviors stem from the alignment of atomic magnetic moments
- Electrons possess intrinsic spin, creating a magnetic moment
- Orbital motion of electrons also generates a magnetic moment
- The combined spin and orbital moments determine the total magnetic moment of an atom
Magnetic Properties of Materials
-
Magnetic Field Strength (H): Measures the intensity of the magnetic field, measured in amperes per meter (A/m)
-
Magnetic Flux Density (B): Represents the amount of magnetic field passing through a unit area, measured in teslas (T)
-
Permeability (μ): Indicates how easily a material can be magnetized or how well it supports the formation of a magnetic field, expressed in H/m
-
Absolute Permeability (μ₀): The permeability of a material in a vacuum
-
Relative Permeability (μr): The ratio of a material's permeability to that of free space (vacuum), calculated as μ = μ₀ * μr
-
Magnetic Susceptibility (χ): Dimensionless quantity indicating how much a material will become magnetized in an applied magnetic field. It's the ratio of magnetization (M) to magnetic field strength (H).
- Magnetization (M): Degree to which a material is magnetized in response to an external magnetic field, measured in amperes per meter (A/m)
- Magnetization also follows the equation M = χVH
-
Coercivity (Hc): A material's resistance to demagnetization
-
Remanence (Br): The magnetization left in a material after an external magnetic field is removed. The material retains magnetic field strength
-
Saturation Magnetization (Ms): The maximum magnetization a material can achieve in an external magnetic field
Classification of Magnetic Materials
- Diamagnetic: Weak negative response to magnetic fields, examples include bismuth, copper, and most nonmetals
- Paramagnetic: Weak positive response to magnetic fields, examples include aluminum, platinum, and certain metal ions.
- Ferromagnetic: Can be permanently magnetized, exhibiting strong magnetization, examples include iron, nickel, and cobalt, magnetic moments arrange in the same direction
- Ferrimagnetic: Similar to ferromagnets, but with opposite magnetic moments in different ion types, examples are iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) and certain ceramic materials
- Antiferromagnetic: Neighboring magnetic moments aligned in opposite directions, cancelling each other out, e.g., manganese oxide (MnO) and iron oxide (FeO)
- Superparamagnetic: Small ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic nanoparticles exhibiting a single magnetic domain, no magnetization once the field is removed, iron oxide nanoparticles
Magnetic Domains and Hysteresis
- Magnetic Domain: Regions within ferromagnetic materials where magnetic moments of atoms are aligned in the same direction
- Hysteresis Loop: Graph showing the relationship between magnetic flux density (B) and magnetic field strength (H) as a material is magnetized and demagnetized. Describes coercivity and remanence
Curie-Weiss Law
-
Curie Temperature (Tc): The temperature above which a ferromagnetic material loses permanent magnetic properties and becomes paramagnetic.
-
Néel temperature: describes the temperature limit at which an antiferromagnetic substance becomes paramagnetic
-
This law describes the magnetic susceptibility of materials at high temperatures.
-
0 (Curie-Weiss temperature) is related to interaction
