Magnetism Flashcards
Diamagnetic
No unpaired electrons
Paramagnetic
Has unpaired electrons
Paramagnetic alignment
Random orientation
Ferromagnetic alignment
Parallel so magnetism = sum of individual moments
Antiferromagnetic alignment
Anti parallel arrangement, overall 0 magnetic moment
Ferrimagnetic alignment
Anti parallel arrengement with unequal magnetic moments
Magnetic susceptibility T dependence
At Curie temp, Tc, thermal disordering overcomes magnetic arrangements so ferromagnetic becomes paramagnetic
At Neel temp, Tn, thermal disordering overcomes magnetic arrangements so antiferromagnetic becomes paramagnetic
Magnetic oxides
AB2O4 spinels
Normal spinel structure
[A]tet[B2]octO4
Inverse spinel structure
