Seen in some magnetic materials, saturation is the state reached when an increase in applied external magnetic field H cannot increase the magnetization of the material further, so the total magnetic flux density B more or less levels off. (Though, magnetization continues to increase very slowly with the field due to paramagnetism.)
Theoretical model of magnetization m against magnetic field h. Starting at the origin, the upward curve is the initial magnetization curve. The downward curve after saturation, along with the lower return curve, form the main loop. The intercepts h c and m rs are the coercivity and saturation remanence.
The dimension of the soft phase inside the exchange spring magnet should be kept small enough so as to retain reversible magnetization. Additionally, the volume fraction of the soft phase needs to be as large as possible in order to achieve a high magnetization saturation.
The magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy is generally represented as an expansion in powers of the direction cosines of the magnetization. The magnetization vector can be written M = M s (α,β,γ), where M s is the saturation magnetization. Because of time reversal symmetry, only even powers of the cosines are allowed. [2]
In a magnet it is the unpaired electrons, aligned so that their spin is in the same direction, which generate the magnetic field. This gives the Nd 2 Fe 14 B compound a high saturation magnetization (J s ≈ 1.6 T or 16 kG) and a remanent magnetization of typically 1.3 teslas.
Equivalent definitions for coercivities in terms of the magnetization-vs-field (M-H) curve, for the same magnet. Coercivity in a ferromagnetic material is the intensity of the applied magnetic field (H field) required to demagnetize that material, after the magnetization of the sample has been driven to saturation by a strong field. This ...
In classical electromagnetism, magnetization is the vector field that expresses the density of permanent or induced magnetic dipole moments in a magnetic material. Accordingly, physicists and engineers usually define magnetization as the quantity of magnetic moment per unit volume. [ 1 ]
Up to this field, changes in magnetization are reversible. The magnetization reaches saturation at h = 1, the largest switching field. The other two types of remanence involve demagnetizing a saturation isothermal remanence (SIRM), so in normalized units they start at 1. Again, nothing happens to the remanence until the field reaches 0.5.
