  2. Neodymium magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet

    A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB or Neo magnet) is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron to form the Nd 2 Fe 14 B tetragonal crystalline structure. [1] They are the most widely used type of rare-earth magnet. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

    The first machines to produce electric current from magnetism used permanent magnets; the dynamo machine, which used an electromagnet to produce the magnetic field, was developed later. The machine built by Hippolyte Pixii in 1832 used a rotating permanent magnet to induce alternating voltage in two fixed coils.

  4. Rare-earth magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_magnet

    Ferrofluid on glass, with a rare-earth magnet underneath. A rare-earth magnet is a strong permanent magnet made from alloys of rare-earth elements.Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types such as ferrite or alnico magnets.

  5. Electropermanent magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electropermanent_magnet

    An electropermanent magnet or EPM is a type of permanent magnet in which the external magnetic field can be switched on or off by a pulse of electric current in a wire winding around part of the magnet. The magnet consists of two sections, one of "hard" (high coercivity) magnetic material and one of "soft" (low coercivity) material. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    A magnet's magnetic moment (also called magnetic dipole moment and usually denoted μ) is a vector that characterizes the magnet's overall magnetic properties. For a bar magnet, the direction of the magnetic moment points from the magnet's south pole to its north pole, [ 15 ] and the magnitude relates to how strong and how far apart these poles ...

  7. Samarium–cobalt magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samarium–cobalt_magnet

    A samarium–cobalt (SmCo) magnet, a type of rare-earth magnet, is a strong permanent magnet made of two basic elements: samarium and cobalt.. They were developed in the early 1960s based on work done by Karl Strnat at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Alden Ray at the University of Dayton.

  8. Ferrite (magnet) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrite_(magnet)

    It has been widely used in industrial applications as permanent magnets and, because they can be powdered and formed easily, they are finding their applications into micro and nano-types systems such as biomarkers, bio diagnostics and biosensors. [34] Barium ferrite Ba Fe 12 O 19 (Ba O · 6 Fe 2 O 3), a common material for permanent magnet ...

  9. Ferromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism

    Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet. Ferromagnetic materials are noticeably attracted to a magnet, which is a consequence of their substantial ...
