7magnetic resonance — Absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation by electrons or atomic nuclei in response to certain magnetic fields. The principles of magnetic resonance are used to study the atomic and nuclear properties of matter; two common laboratory… …
8Magnetic anisotropy — is the direction dependence of a material s magnetic properties. In the absence of an applied magnetic field, a magnetically isotropic material has no preferential direction for its magnetic moment while a magnetically anisotropic material will… …
9Magnetic energy — and electric energy are related by Maxwell s equations. The potential energy of a magnet of magnetic moment m in a magnetic field B is defined as the work of magnetic force (actually of magnetic torque) on re alignment of the vector of the… …
10Magnetic dipole–dipole interaction — Magnetic dipole–dipole interaction, also called dipolar coupling, refers to the direct interaction between two magnetic dipoles. The potential energy of the interaction is as follows: where ejk is a unit vector parallel to the line joining the… …
