The magnetic moment opposes the field in diamagnetic materials
(b) In an applied field, individual magnetic moments take alignments along the applied
field; and M is finite and along B, but saturation cannot be attained.
Ferromagnetism
In a magnetized region of a ferromagnetic material all the magnetic moments are
spontaneously aligned in the same direction. There is a strong magnetization vector M even in
the absence of an applied field.
Criteria for ferromagnetism :
1. Should be an unfilled shell – Unpaired electron
2. Negative exchange integral
Such materials exhibit hysteresis
Relationship between B & H is non-linear
Hysteresis Loss
Due to magnetic hysteresis, a
fraction of applied power is lost
in the form of heat.

Curie law Curie-Weiss law
Curie law only holds for high temperatures, or weak magnetic fields. It was later shown that the
Curie law is only a special case of a more general law called the Curie-Weiss law. Here, ϴ is a
constant, with the dimensions of temperature, for any one substance, and equal to zero for those
substances which obey Curie’s law.

AIIFeIII2O4
Unit cell contains 32 oxygen anions (shown as large spheres) and 24 cations.
There are total of 64 tetrahedral (A) sites and 32 octahedral (B) sites available in
the unit cell, out of which, only 8 A sites and 16 B sites are occupied respectively.
The occupied tetrahedral sites form two interpenetrating f.c.c. lattices
having an edge a, which are displaced with respect to each other by a
distance (1/4)a in the direction of the body diagonal of the cube.

oxygen ion
All octahedral ions together lie on four interpenetrating
f.c.c. lattices with edge a, which are displaced with
respect to each 1 4 a 2 other by a distance in the
directions of the face diagonals of the cube.
A-A interactions,
A-B interactions
Among these, A-A & B-B are weak, but A-B super-exchange interactions are strong.
