Intriguing Properties and Applications of Functional Magnetic Materials Abstract Functional magnetic materials, also called the smart materials of the future, are a group of materials having important and interesting physical properties, which can be affected when an external magnetic field is applied. They are intriguing models that have a strong impact on improving different technologies. [...]
Paramagnetic vs Diamagnetic vs Ferromagnetic – Magnetism Diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic are the three main types of magnetic materials. The terms describe diamagnetism, paramagnetism, and ferromagnetism. The different types of magnetism refer to the way a material reacts to an external magnetic field. Here is a look at these three types of magnetism, examples of [...]
What Objects Are Attracted To Magnets? Magnets are very useful in our lives. For example, we can use magnets to attract iron nails, iron keys, and iron scraps, etc. So in addition to these objects that are obviously composed of iron, what other objects can be attracted to magnets? First of all, let us first [...]
Magnetic vs Non-Magnetic Metals Magnetic materials are attracted to a magnet and may even become magnetized. Nearly all magnetic materials are metals. Familiar examples of magnetic metals include iron, nickel, cobalt, and steel. But, magnetism is a complex phenomenon. Not all iron or steel is magnetic. There are even some nonmetals that display magnetism! Here [...]
Non-Magnetic Metals 1. Aluminum Aluminum isn’t magnetic under normal circumstances, but it does interact with magnets – we call this paramagnetism. This metal isn’t attracted to magnets, so a magnet won’t stick to aluminum. However, when a magnet moves close to aluminum, it causes an electrical field, which interacts with the aluminum. This phenomenon is [...]
Magnetic and Magnetic Materials When it comes to magnetic materials, we have to talk about "magnetic" first. Experiments have shown that any substance can be magnetized more or less in an external magnetic field, but the degree of magnetization is different. According to the characteristics of substances in the external magnetic field, substances can be [...]
