A note on paramagnetism
ParamagnetismMagnetization is induced and persists until theexternal magnetic field is applied. In contrast to that, ferromagnetism (or any other long-range magnetic ordering) is stable without an appliedfield (spontaneous).
Large positive experimental 𝜒 values do not suffice for
a sample to be characterized as ferro(ferri)magnetic.
Paramagnetic materials achieve saturation in high magnetic fields.
Magnetic properties are not a „permanent“ characteristic of a material at hand. They are being studied within a parameter space (magnetic fields, temperature, physical or chemical pressures are variables). Magnetic phase transitions areoften observed, in particular along the temperature scale.
Methods of synthesis/crystal growth and the associated physical shape of thesample (crystal, powder, nanoscaled product, thin film, etc.) can (strongly) influence the magnetic characteristics of a given material. Also due toconfinement effects:
• spatial confinement: nanostructures; thin films
• structure confinement: 2D, 1D and 0D structure fragments, various types ofchemical bonding between the fragments
• electronic confinement: 2DEG at interfaces, surface; heterostructures
Phase diagrams, incl. magnetic ones (H, T, p, etc.).

Spin angular momentum (S) = eigenrotation of an electron (core electrons anditinerant electrons). A metaphor of planetary rotation is deceiving.

Orbital angular momentum (L) = electron is an electric charge on a circular orbit, loop current (core electrons)
Experimental confirmation: Einstein-de Haas effect (1915)A rod made of a ferromagnetic material is suspended on a string. It starts to rotatearound its axis when it is magnetized along its length.Reason: conservation of angular momentum.Orbital angular momentum is a quantum-mechanical analog of the classic angular momentum.
Einstein-de Haas experiment
Demonstrates a connection between the classic angular momentum andmacroscopic magnetization of a macroscopic body and the angular momentum ofan electron.Relates the observed magnetic moment to its angular quantum number.Rotation is a consequence of the conservation of angular momentum.

Magnetic moment 𝑚 is related to:• Current loops (orbital motion of electric charge)• Spin magnetic moments of elementary particles
Current loop is an orbital motion of charge and
orbital motion of a particle mass (angular momentum 𝐿)
𝑚 and 𝐿 are proportional:
𝑚 = − 𝛾 𝐿, 𝛾 – g-factor, gyromagnetic ratio

Momenta coupling in many-electron systems
How do angular ℓ𝒊 and spin 𝒔𝒊 moments of individual electrons couple in case of a many-electron system (e.g. a valence shell)?
𝒋𝒊 = ℓ𝒊 + 𝒔𝒊
jj-coupling Russell-Saunders
Russell-Saunders scheme (light elements, e.g. 3d-transition metals with L = 2, but also rare-earth elements of the 4f row L = 3): all single orbital angular momenta couple to the
total angular momentum L = σ𝑖 ℓ𝒊, all single spin momenta couple to the total spin
moment S = σ𝑖 𝒔𝒊, then L and S couple to the total total angular momentum J = L + S.
jj-scheme (for large atomic numbers Z): first pairs of individual ℓ𝒊 and 𝒔𝒊 moments coupleto 𝒋𝒊, then these couple to the total angular momentum J. This is a case of strong spin-orbit
coupling.

Spin-orbit coupling II
Energy of spin-orbit coupling: 𝐸𝑆𝑂 = – 𝝁𝑠 ∙ 𝑩𝑜𝑟𝑏 = 𝐴 ∙ ℓ ∙ 𝒔
𝐸𝑆𝑂 corresponds to the energy that is gained when spin aligns parallel to ℓ from theinitial perpendicular position to ℓ.
Since orbital angular momentum ℓ often has a „preferred“ (energetically favorable) crystallographic orientation (thanks to crystal-field effects (electrostatic potential ofsome symmetry), degeneracy of 3d-electons), the spin momentum 𝒔 will also orientparallel to this direction via SOC effect. In this spirit, spin-orbit coupling strengthensmagnetocrystalline anisotropy.
Magnetocrystalline anisotropy leads to the effect of „easy“ magnetization alongparticular crystallographic axis.
In other words, the lattice (atomic arrangement in general) can influence the spinorientation via spin-orbit effects.
Other types of magnetic anisotropy:• Shape anisotropy: easy magnetization axis in the longest direction of
measurement• Magnetoelastic anisotropy (induced anisotropy).

Diamagnetism
• Induced magnetic moments areantiparallel to the field creating them.
• Induced currents weaken the externalfield in accordance with the Lenz‘slaw.
• Note: Bohr-van Leeuwen theorem(1911 and 1919): The netmagnetization of an electronensemble in thermal equilibrium isequal to zero at finite temperaturesand finite electric or thermal fields.Consequently, electron interactionsare impossible in the classic, non-relativistic concept.

Pauli paramagnetism
Free electrons (metals)
Why is there no temperature dependencein contrast to Langevin P. (c = C/T)?
Explanation:
Quasi-free electrons obey the Fermi statistics.
The Fermi temperature (TF) of the freeelectron gas is much higher than the roomtemperature.
Consequently, only a small portion ofelectrons can flip their spin in the narrowenergy interval near the Fermi edge (Pauli principle).
The amount of these electrons is𝑘𝐵𝑇
