Magnetic Property
The response of the materials to external magnetic field degree of response varies, which is measured in terms of their magnetization (strong or weak)
The parameters used to study the magnetic behaviors of the materials are as follows:
1.Magnetic dipoles & magnetic moment:
Magnetic dipoles are analogous to electric dipoles ;consists of a north pole and a south pole of strength‘m’ each separated by a small distance ‘2l’
Magnetic moment = m x 2l
A circular current loop is equivalent to a magnetic dipole, magnetic moment
μM = I x A ( amp. m2)
Where ‘I’ is the current in the loop
and ‘A’ is the area of the loop
Torque on the dipole τ = μM X B

2. Magnetisation = dipole moment / volumeM = μ / V ( amp. / met.)
3.Magnetic susceptibility = magnetization / mag. field strengthχ = M / H (no unit)
4.Magnetic permeability = magnetic induction / mag. field strengthμ = B / H (Wb / amp. met. = H/met)
μ =μ0 μr
5.Relative permeability μr = μ / μ0,
μ0 = absolute permeability = 4πX 10 -7 H/m
6.Relation between H, B & M isB = μ0 (M+H) = μ0 (χH + H) = μ0 (1 + χ) H
7. Relative permeability & Susceptibility B = μ H = μ0 μr H so μr =(1 + χ)
Origin of magnetic moment
• The three sources of magnetic moment in an atom of any material are
[1] Orbital motion of the electron
[2] Spin motion of the electron
[3] Nuclear spin
• If the vector sum of all the contribution is zero then net magnetization is zero :- material is nonmagnetic.
1. Orbital motion of the electron
• Motion of the electron (charged particle)around the nucleus in a circular orbit (orbital motion) is equivalent to a circular current and behaves as a magnetic dipole.
• Associated magnetic moment is
μM = Ix A ( amp. m2)
• if ‘T’ is the time period for one rotation
& ‘v’ is the velocity of the electron
in the orbit , then T = 2 π r / v

Current
• Current I = - q/T
• magnetic moment μM = (- q v / 2 π r ) (A) = - ( q v / 2 π r ) (π r2 )
• qvr/2 = - q/ 2m ( mvr)
• = - (q/ 2m ) L
• Orbital magnetic moment
Quantum no. associated with ‘L’ is √* l(l+1) ħ+ ,
‘l’ is the orbital quantum no.
• l=0---s shell, l=1---p shell,
• l=2-----d shell, l=3------f shell
2. Spin motion of the electron
Similarly, the spin motion of the electron around their own axis give rise to spin magnetic moment
where γ is called spin gyromagnetic ratio. (γ=2)
μorb = - (q/ 2m ) L
μspin = -γ (q/ 2m ) S
μorb = -√l(l+1) (qћ / 2m )
Quantum no. associated with ‘S’ is ± ħ/2
3. Nuclear magnetic moment Due to the spin of nucleus ( protons & neutrons) , a magnetic moment is
associated which is very small as compared to the electroniccontribution as heavy mass is involved (10-3 times) is masked byelectronic mag. mom.
Total magnetic moment is due to electron motion inside the atomμM = - g (q/ 2m ) (L+S) = - g (q/ 2m ) J,
‘J’ is the total angular momentum varying from |L+S| to |L- S| If magnetic field is applied along z-direction , the component of the
total magnetic moment in that direction is, μM = - g (qħ/2m) mj
Where ‘mj ‘is the magnetic quantum no. varying from (J to -J) g is called Lande’s g-factor, for spin moment g=2
• g =
• Calculation rules
1.If electrons are in the s-orbit, orbital magnetic moment is zero
(l=0)
2. For completely filled shell, orbital magnetic moment is zero (l=0)
As ml = l to –l (s shell=0, p shell, l=1, d shell, l=2 and f shell, l=3..)
3.If all electrons are paired, spin magnetic momentum is zero
4. Only partially filled p, d and f shells contribute to orbital
magnetic moment

Bohr magnetron
• If there is a single electron it will have spin magnetic moment only
• μs = -2 (q ħ / 2m) ±1/2 , as g=2 and mj= ±1/2
• ‘μB‘ = = 9.27x 10-24 Am2
• This is the fundamental magnetic moment, called Bohr magnetron ‘μB‘—it is the magnetic moment of an isolated single electron or the magnetic moment of Hydrogen atom
• Usually magnetic moments of materials are expressed in terms of ‘μB‘
• Spin magnetic moment can be expressed as μ = g μBS
• Hydrogen atom:- One electron in s shell. So l = 0 and s= +1/2 or -1/2 implies that orbital magnetic mom. is zero and spin mag. Mom. is same as the Bohr magnetron

• Hund’s rule:
• 1. spins of electrons remain parallel to each other to the max. Extent
• 2. max . Value of L is consistent with the spin S
• 3. if shell is less than half filled J= |L- S| ,
if more than half filled J= |L+ S| &
if exactly half filled then L=0 and J=S
Classification of magnetic materials
• Diamagnetic material:- Have even no. of electrons, so no permanentmoment. When placed in external magnetic field get slightlymagnetised, in a direction opposite to the applied magnetic field.
• Paramagnetic materials:- Have net moment in the absence of ext.magnetic field(partially filled p,d,f orbitals and unpaired electrons).When placed in external magnetic field are magnetised in thedirection of the external magnetic field applied.
• Ferromagnetic materials:- Exhibit spontaneous magnetisation due toan internal field arising due to mutual interaction between thedomains. When placed in ext. magnetic field acquire very large andpermanent magnetisation in the direction of the field.
Antiferromagnetic materials:-Individual magnetic dipoles havemagnetic moment, but due to antiparallel arrangement netmagnetisation become zero.
Ferrimagnetic materials:-Individual magnetic moments areantiparallel, but having different magnitude do not cancel outcompletely.

Classification of magnetic materials
Ferromagnetic theory ( Weiss Theory)
• Weiss predicted that, in ferromagnetic materials Spontaneousmagnetization is observed, which is due to a strong internal fieldarising from an exchange interaction between the magneticmoments in the neighborhood domains
• exchange interaction
between two atoms ‘I’ and ‘j’
• = U= -2 J SiSj
‘J’ is called the exchange integral
• H int = λM , where ‘λ’ is called Weiss constant
• H tot= H appl + Hint
• H tot= H appl + λM
• Ferromagnetic domains( 1-100 μm) :-
Domains in a favorable direction grow in size at the expense ofother domains till saturation is reached; there is only onedomain. Energy involved in the orientation is obtained fromthe hysteresis curve.

6. For permanent magnet in speakers, clocks
7. Rare earth alloys with Mn, Fe, Co, Ni
Antiferromagnetism:
• when exchange interaction between adjacent or neighboring domains give rise to ordered antiparallel spin arrangement, below a temp. called Neel temp. ex.- MnO,MnS,FeCl2, Co O. Net moment or magnetisation is Zero

Ferrimagnetic & Antiferromagnetic materials
• Ferrimagnetic material are special class of ferromagnetic material called ‘ ferrites’ with high permeability, saturation magnetisation and they show hysteresis (square loop)
• They are different from the ferromagnetic materials only in the way the spin magnetic moments are arranged in them.
• Formula: Me2+O Fe23+O3 :- Me is a divalent atom
(Fe, Mn, Zn,Cd,Cu,Ni,Co,Mg )
Crystal structure: Inverse spinel
cubic cell has ‘8’ molecules.
In the unit cell, 32 O-2 ions ,
16 Fe3+ ions ,
8 Me2+ ions.
Ferrites :- Me2+O Fe3+2O3
Me= Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Mg, Zn, Cd
8 Me2+ ions and 8- Fe 3+, are surrounded by 6 oxygen ions :-Octahedral
8 Fe 3+ ions are surrounded by 4 oxygen ions :- Tetrahedral
• Octahedral site :- 8 Me2+ ions and 8- Fe 3+, are surrounded by 6 oxygen ions and have parallel spins.
• Tetrahedral site :- 8 Fe 3+ ions are surrounded by 4 oxygen ionsand spins antiparallel.
So net magnetic moment of Fe 3+ ions cancel ( 8 up spin and 8 down spin)Only, 8 Me2+ ions contribute to magnetic moment.

• Applications: resistivity of ferrites are very high so suitablyapplied for high frequency application (eddy current energyloss less) and in special magnetic devices.
• Ferrites have square hysteresis loop. So used for digitalstorage device ( two values of magnetisation +Ms & - Ms; so1 or 0 )
• Soft ferrites are used for high freq. Transformer core,computer memory, hard disc, floppy disk audio videocassette, recorder head
• Hard ferrites are used for permanent magnets in generator,motor, loud speaker, telephone
• Non-volatile memory called magnetic bubbles(magneticdomains in thin films)
• Mixed ferrites are produced by combining two differentdivalent ions in suitable ratios, to obtain a specificmagnetisation desired.
