1Magnetic 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… …
2Magnetic structure — The term magnetic structure of a material pertains to the ordered arrangement of magnetic spins, typically within an ordered crystallographic lattice. Its study is a branch of solid state chemistry. A very simple antiferromagnetic structure… …
3Magnetic refrigeration — Gadolinium alloy heats up inside the magnetic field and loses thermal energy to the environment, so it exits the field cooler than when it entered. Magnetic refrigeration is a cooling technology based on the magnetocaloric effect. This technique… …
4Magnetic domain — Several grains of NdFeB with magnetic domains made visible via contrast with a Kerr microscope. A magnetic domain describes a region within a magnetic material which has uniform magnetization. This means that the individual magnetic moments of… …
5Earth's magnetic field — Computer simulation of the Earth s field in a normal period between reversals.[1] The tubes represent magnetic field lines, blue when the field points towards the center and yellow when away. The rotation axis of the Earth is centered and… …
6crystal — crystallike, adj. /kris tl/, n., adj., v., crystaled, crystaling or (esp. Brit.) crystalled, crystalling. n. 1. a clear, transparent mineral or glass resembling ice. 2. the transparent form of crystallized quartz. 3. Chem., Mineral. a solid body… …
7Crystal — /kris tl/, n. 1. a city in SE Minnesota, near Minneapolis. 25,543. 2. a female given name. * * * I Any solid material whose atoms are arranged in a definite pattern and whose surface regularity reflects its internal symmetry. Each of a crystal s… …
8Ferromagnetism — Not to be confused with Ferrimagnetism; for an overview see Magnetism A magnet made of alnico, an iron alloy. Ferromagnetism is the physical theory which explains how materials become magnets. Ferromagnetism is the basic mechanism by which… …
9High-temperature superconductivity — Unsolved problems in physics What causes superconductivity at temperatures above 50 kelvin? High temperature superconductors (abbreviated high Tc or HTS) are materials that have a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) above 30 K… …
10Curium — This article is about the chemical element. For the ancient city located in Cyprus, see Kourion. americium ← curium → berkelium …
