  2. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    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] It is represented by a pseudovector M.

  3. Magneto-optic Kerr effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optic_Kerr_effect

    When the magnetization vector is perpendicular to the reflection surface and parallel to the plane of incidence, the effect is called the polar Kerr effect.To simplify the analysis, and because the other two configurations have vanishing Kerr rotation at normal incidence, near normal incidence is usually employed when doing experiments in the polar geometry.

  4. Magnetic susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_susceptibility

    In electromagnetism, the magnetic susceptibility (from Latin susceptibilis 'receptive'; denoted χ, chi) is a measure of how much a material will become magnetized in an applied magnetic field. It is the ratio of magnetization M (magnetic moment per unit volume) to the applied magnetic field intensity H.

  5. Coercivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercivity

    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 ...

  6. Demagnetizing field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagnetizing_field

    The demagnetizing field, also called the stray field (outside the magnet), is the magnetic field (H-field) [1] generated by the magnetization in a magnet.The total magnetic field in a region containing magnets is the sum of the demagnetizing fields of the magnets and the magnetic field due to any free currents or displacement currents.

  7. Ferromagnetic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetic_resonance

    The magnetic sample is placed between the poles of the electromagnet and the magnetic field is swept while the resonant absorption intensity of the microwaves is detected. When the magnetization precession frequency and the resonant cavity frequency are the same, absorption increases sharply which is indicated by a decrease in the intensity at ...

  8. Saturation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_(magnetic)

    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.)

  9. Magnetic Thermodynamic Systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Thermodynamic_Systems

    In a paramagnetic system, that is, a system in which the magnetization vanishes without the influence of an external magnetic field, assuming some simplifying assumptions (such as the sample system being ellipsoidal), one can derive a few compact thermodynamic relations. [4]
