    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
