Types of Magnetic Materials
- Magnetic materials exist in bulk form and on the nanoscale
- Types: Nanoparticles, nanocrystals, nanowires, nanorods, nanorings, nanoprisms, nanofilms, 3D nanocrystals
Nanoscale Properties
- Reduced size leads to a higher surface area-to-volume ratio
- Broken symmetry results in reduced coordination and frustration of bonds
- Nanoscale materials exhibit a higher proportion of surface atoms
Magnetic Systems
- Magnetic systems' dimensions, comparable to characteristic lengths, like magnetic domains, impact their properties
- Broken translation symmetry results in reduced coordination in nanoscale systems.
- The concentration of atoms on the surfaces of objects impacts magnetic properties
External Effects
- Magnetic properties of nanomaterials are affected by close contact with external systems
- Objects in close contact with substrates or capping layers experience modifications in magnetic properties
- Nanoparticles in solid matrices or containers show interactions with neighboring particles
Defects and Imperfections
- The significance of imperfections increases in nanoscale magnetic systems
- Precise control over nano-objects becomes difficult because of this
Magnetic Materials
- Free charges flowing in current-carrying wires create magnetic fields (right-hand rule governs direction)
- Atoms have spinning electrons that produce magnetic fields if properly aligned
Types of Magnetic Materials
- Linear/Isotropic/Homogeneous materials remain the same across the entire medium
- Soft materials commonly used in inductors, transformers, and actuators
- Hard materials, or permanent magnets, power electric motors
Origin of Magnetization
- Magnetization in materials arises from atomic currents in two main ways:
- Orbital motions of electrons and protons
- Electron spin
Magnetic Moment
- Quantity describing a magnet's strength
- Orbital magnetic moment of electrons is influenced by orbital motion around the nucleus and electron spin
- The mass of the nucleus affects its contribution to the atom's magnetic moment relative to that of an electron
Average Magnetic Dipole Moment
- Average magnetic dipole moment per atom (µ) determined by the ratio of the magnetization (M) to the number of atoms per unit volume (N)
Magnetic Dipole Moment
- Magnetic dipole moment is a vector quantity associated with a current loop
- Torque on a magnetic dipole is given by the equation τ = μ × B
- Potential energy associated with a magnetic moment is given by U(θ) = -μ.B
Energy Difference
- Work performed to rotate a current loop from 0° to 180° degrees is given by equation, W = ∫ 0toπ μBsinθdθ = ∫ 0toπ μBcose
- Torque acts perpendicular to the moment, resulting in precession at a characteristic frequency called the Larmor frequency.
Magnetic Potential Energy
- A magnetic dipole moment will possess potential energy which depends on its orientation in the magnetic field
- The energy is expressed using a scalar product, minimizing when the magnetic moment is aligned with the magnetic field.
Electron Orbit Magnetic Moment
- Magnetic moment of an electron's orbit is determined by the classical expression, μ = IA
- The orbital moment is proportional to the total angular momentum
Vector Model of the atom: Orbital angular Momentum
- Orbital angular momentum (L) follows rules of quantization
- L values, determined by the quantum number, are represented by vector directions, which are not aligned in all direction
Electron in d subshells
- Electronic configuration is relevant to the d subshell
- The magnetic quantum number (mℓ) has allowed values that are -l, -l + 1, ..., 0, ..., l-1, l
Orbital Magnetic Moment
- The orbital magnetic moment of a single electron in an orbit is calculated by accounting for quantized angular momentum
- The Bohr magneton is a unit of magnetic moment used in this context
Electron Spin
- Electron spin is an intrinsic quantum property of electrons
- Associated with a quantized angular momentum (s = ½)
- Two possibilities for the z component of electron spin exist (ms = +½ or -½)
Electron Spin Magnetic Moment
- Electron spin leads to a magnetic moment twice that initially anticipated
- Dirac relativistic equation predicts this discrepancy
Diamagnetism
- Weak repulsion in the presence of a magnetic field
- Electron orbital rearrangement creates opposing current loops
- Weak negative susceptibility and repelled by magnets
Paramagnetism
- Weak attraction in the presence of a magnetic field
- Presence of unpaired electrons creates net magnetic moments that align with the external field
- Non-permanent; losses magnetism without an external field
Paramagnetic Materials
- Paramagnetic materials are temperature-sensitive
- Some materials such as aluminum, uranium, and platinum exhibit enhanced paramagnetism with a temperature decrease
Ferromagnetism
- Strong attraction to magnets and retain magnetism after field removal
- Presence of unpaired electrons cause net magnetic moments and strong attraction to magnetic fields
- These moments are aligned in domains within the material
Ferromagnetic Domains
- Magnetic domains create a net magnetic field in the unmagnetized state
Ferromagnetism Continued
- Heating causes random organization of domains in a material, which reduces or eliminates magnetism
Hysteresis
- Hysteresis translates to "lag" in magnetism
Hysteresis Loop
- The hysteresis loop shows how much magnetic flux changes after the magnetizing force is changed.
- Area of the loop represents energy loss.
VSM Principles
- VSMs use Faraday's Law of Induction of a changing magnetic field creates an electric field
- The device measures sample magnetization under a constant field via its induced stray field
Faraday's Law
- Faraday's Law expresses the relationship amongst induced voltage, varying magnetic fields, and turns on a coil
- Lenz's Law (minus sign) explains the direction of the induced voltage.
VSM Components
- VSMs contain various apparatus such as vibration units, reference coils, hall probes and other accessories.
Magnetization Curves
- Diamagnetic materials exhibits linearity
- Paramagnetic materials have a positive slope
- Ferromagnetic materials have a non-linear characteristic
- Saturation levels in magnetization curves occurs when the force becomes stronger
