Ferromagnetism domains

The crystal stmcture of the intermediate is not well understood. The final iron phase is termed superparamagnetic because the particle size is too small to support ferromagnetic domains. At low rates, the discharge occurs in two steps separated by a small voltage difference. At high rates, however, the two steps become one, indicating that the first step is rate limiting, ie, the second step (eq. 34) occurs immediately after formation of the intermediate (eq. 33). 

Ferromagnetic domains are regions in which unbalanced electron spins are aligned. Parts of three domains are indicated. The dashed lines are 180° and 90° domain walls. From W. F. Hosford, Physical Metallurgy (Boca Raton, FL CRC Press, 2005), p. 445, figure 26.4.

It may be safely suggested that origin of the ferromagnetic state in the synthesis products is a result of change in their electronic structure at the high-energy plasmochemistry synthesis. It results in the appearance of carbonic clusters with unpaired electron spins and formation of ferromagnetic domains with equally oriented spins. 

Thus, their motion is the result of the rotation of ferromagnetic domains.

Domain wall - The transition region between adjacent ferromagnetic domains, generally a layer with a thickness of a few hundred angstrom units. Also called Bloch wall. 

Sintered ceramics made of lead-zirconium titanate (PZT Pb(Tii jZr,)03 x S 0.5) are usually used for phoioacoustic experiments [105, 106]. The unit cell of the lead-zirconium titanate has a perovskite structure. Below the Curie temperature (328 °C for the PZT-4 (Vemitron) used by us [24]), the cells are tetragonally deformed, i.e., positive and negative charges are shifted and electric dipole moments are produced. In analogy to ferromagnetism, domains with randomly distributed polarization direction are formed. By the application of an electric field, these can be orientated in a preferred direction, and the sintered polycrystalline ceramic is then remanently polarized. The properties of these anisotropic piezoelectric materials are described by various parameters which depend on the polarization and deformation direction. In the common terminology, the < ordinate system shown in Fig. 3 is obtained for the cylindrical piezoelectric crystals [24].
