Types of magnetism

We identify three basic t) es of magnetic interaction. If the flux density is reduced by the presence of a material in proportion to the applied field ( y 1), the material is diamagnetic. If the flux density is increased by the presence of the material in proportion to the applied field (x l), the material is paramagnetic. If the magnetic field is present even in the 

The molar magnetic susceptibility, xm is related to a quantity of more interest to the chemist, the Bohr magneton number (or magnetic dipole moment in Bohr magneton units), designated p. The relationship is  

N = Avogadro s number a = the diamagnetic constant h the Planck constant (p. 6) p = the Bohr Magneton number k the Boltzmann constant ( = 

Note that equation (2) is of the algebraic form xm A + C/T (the Curie equation), where A and C are constants (for a given substance) and xm and T may be measured. For substances obeying the Curie relationship, it is possible to calculate C (and hence p) by measuring the molar susceptibility at two or more temperatures. 

Often a somewhat more complicated relationship (the Curie-Weiss law) 

Except in a few special cases, paramagnetism is associated with unpaired electrons. Such electrons have spin angular momentum, which 

Diamagnetism is a basic property of all substances and involves a slight repulsion by a magnetic field. The magnetic susceptibility of a diamagnetic substance is small (-10 ), negative and independent of temperature. Iron oxides display additional types of magnetism. 

In an antiferromagnetic substance, the electron spins are of equal magnetic moment and are aligned in an antiparallel manner (Fig. 6.5 b). Such substances have zero overall magnetic moment, a positive permeability and a small positive susceptibility (0-0.1). Increasing the temperature usually causes susceptibility to increase because the antiparallel ordering is disrupted. 

A plot of magnetization against an applied magnetic field displays a hysteresis loop, the two branches of which correspond to the magnetization and demagnetiza- 

The height of the energy barrier between the forward and reverse states is the product of the particle volume, V, and the anisotropy constant Kefr (which is, to some extent, a function of particle size). Superparamagnetic relaxation occurs when the thermal energy of the particles exceeds the activation energy barrier between the spin states and so allows rapid, spontaneous fluctuations between these states. The effect of these spin reversals is that the observed magnetic field is reduced or even absent. 

Because the appearance of the superparamagnetic effect depends on the particle size and on the anisotropy constant, it is often displayed at room temperature by iron oxides 10 nm in size, for example, soil iron oxides. Superparamagnetic relaxation may be counteracted by lowering the temperature and thereby increasing x. Superparamagnetic particles will usually be ordered below a blocking temperature,Tb, which is

Special probe geometries and combinations of different types of magnetic field sensors make an important contribution to the further improvement of the eddy-current testing method and results in new applications. 

So, a comparison of different types of magnetic field sensors is possible by using the impulse response function. High amplitude and small width of this bell-formed function represent a high local resolution and a high signal-to-noise-characteristic of a sensor system. On the other hand the impulse response can be used for calculation of an unknown output. In a next step it will be shown a solution of an inverse eddy-current testing problem. 

Magnet y ssemblj. Several types of magnet assembhes and pole combinations have been used successhiUy. Both electro and permanent magnet assembUes have also been employed. The permanent assembly is frequendy preferred because of the power savings effected. Typical pole specifications for the various apphcations are five or six poles for cobbers as weU as for roughers, and from four to ten (normally five) poles for finishers. 

Drum and Pulley Magnets Since Thomas Edison invented and developed the magnetic pulley for the concentration of nickel ore, drums and pulleys have become the most common types of magnetic separators. These devices can be built with either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, and the drum separator can operate with... 

Table 19-23 lists potential apphcations for all types of magnetic separators. 

The various types of magnetic separators used and their applications are described by Bronkala (1988). 

There is considerable interest in developing new types of magnetic materials, with a particular hope that ferroelectric solids and polymers can be constructed— materials having spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by an electric field. Such materials could lead to new low-cost memory devices for computers. The fine control of dispersed magnetic nanostructures will take the storage and tunability of magnetic media to new levels, and novel tunneling microscopy approaches allow measurement of microscopic hysteresis effects in iron nanowires. 

There are several types of magnetic behaviour that affect the specific heat of a material paramagnetism, ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism and ferrimagnetism. Diamagnetism, being independent of temperature, causes no specific heat contribution and is not considered. 

Abstract Metal complexes including the dmit2- (1,3-dithio-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato) ligand are the only class of metal bis-dithiolenes to give rise to superconductive molecular materials. This chapter first focuses on the description of these superconductive phases. Further sections describe the association of M(dmit)2 moieties with three types of magnetic molecules, i.e., metalloceniums, radical cations, and spin crossover complexes. 

ICP-MS now comes in various guises. The primary differences are in the way in which the sample is introduced into the plasma (either as a solution, or by laser ablation of a solid sample), and in the type of magnetic separation applied to the ions. Whilst the type of magnetic separation is a fixed property of the instrument and cannot therefore be changed, most instruments can accommodate either solution or laser ablation sample presentation.
