Magnetic Moment The generation of the magnetic field can be divided into two aspects: one is based on the moving current (electromagnetic induction), and the other is based on the spin of the basic particles of matter. The first is the magnetic effect of current that we are more familiar with, which is the magnetic [...]
Magnetic alloys are alloys engineered to have special magnetic properties. Permalloy Permalloy is the term for a nickel iron magnetic alloy. Generically, it refers to an alloy with about 20% iron and 80% nickel content. Permalloy has a high magnetic permeability, low coercivity, near zero magnetostriction, and significant anisotropic magnetoresistance. The low magnetostriction is critical [...]
Magnetism Electricity: Theory of Electromagnetism Electromagnets show that you can make magnetism using electricity. In fact, as European scientists discovered in the 19th century, electricity always makes magnetism when it moves about or changes. Every time an electric current flows in a wire, it generates a magnetic field all around it. Changing electricity, in short, [...]
World's smallest magnetic data storage unit created, data storage magnets, the smallest magnets, ferromagnetism If you're impressed with how much data can be stored on your portable hard drive, well ... that's nothing. Scientists have now created a functioning magnetic data storage unit that measures just 4 by 16 nanometers, uses 12 atoms per bit, and can store an [...]
