  2. Curie temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature

    Ferromagnetic materials are magnetic in the absence of an applied magnetic field. When a magnetic field is absent the material has spontaneous magnetization which is a result of the ordered magnetic moments; that is, for ferromagnetism, the atoms are symmetrical and aligned in the same direction creating a permanent magnetic field.

  3. Magnetic Thermodynamic Systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Thermodynamic_Systems

    Assuming the external magnetic field is uniform and shares a common axis with the paramagnet, the extensive parameter characterizing the magnetic state is , the magnetic dipole moment of the system. The fundamental thermodynamic relation describing the system will then be of the form U = U ( S , V , I , N ) {\displaystyle U=U(S,V,I,N)} .

  4. Curie's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie's_law

    is the magnitude of the applied magnetic field (A/m), is absolute temperature , is a material-specific Curie constant (K). Pierre Curie discovered this relation, now known as Curie's law, by fitting data from experiment. It only holds for high temperatures and weak magnetic fields.

  5. Type-II superconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type-II_superconductor

    Critical magnetic flux densities B C1 and B C2 and the critical temperature T C are labeled. In the lower region of this graph, both type-I and type-II superconductors display the Meissner effect (a). A mixed state (b), in which some field lines are captured in magnetic field vortices, occurs only in Type-II superconductors within a limited ...

  6. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    A magnetic field is a vector field, but if it is expressed in Cartesian components X, Y, Z, each component is the derivative of the same scalar function called the magnetic potential. Analyses of the Earth's magnetic field use a modified version of the usual spherical harmonics that differ by a multiplicative factor.

  7. Meissner effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meissner_effect

    The samples, in the presence of an applied magnetic field, were cooled below their superconducting transition temperature, whereupon the samples cancelled nearly all interior magnetic fields. They detected this effect only indirectly because the magnetic flux is conserved by a superconductor: when the interior field decreases, the exterior ...

  8. Curie–Weiss law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie–Weiss_law

    Here μ 0 is the permeability of free space; M the magnetization (magnetic moment per unit volume), B = μ 0 H is the magnetic field, and C the material-specific Curie constant: = (+), where k B is the Boltzmann constant, N the number of magnetic atoms (or molecules) per unit volume, g the Landé g-factor, μ B the Bohr magneton, J the angular ...

  9. Magnetic flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux

    If the magnetic field is constant, the magnetic flux passing through a surface of vector area S is = = ⁡, where B is the magnitude of the magnetic field (the magnetic flux density) having the unit of Wb/m 2 , S is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the normal (perpendicular) to S.
