Origin of permanent magnetic moments in solids: 1. orbital magnetic moment of electrons 2. spin magnetic moment of electrons 3. spin magnetic moment of nucleus We will consider only spin magnetic moment of electrons
Bohr magneton B The magnetic moment due to spin of a single electron is called the Bohr magneton B B= 9.273 x 10-24 A m2 Net moment of two electrons of opposite spins = 0

If Fe is ferromagnetic with atomic magnetic moments perfectly aligned due to positive exchange interaction then why do we have Fe which is not a magnet? Answer by Pierre Ernest Weiss (1907) Existence of domains known as Weiss domains
Domain walls are regions of high energy (0.002 Jm-2) due to moment misalignment. Then why do the exist? Ans: Fig. 16.3
Randomly aligned domains 1. decrease the manetostatic energy in the field outside the magnet 2. increase the domain wall energy inside the magnet A magnet will attain a domain structure which minimizes the overall energy
16.3 B never saturates M saturates The value of B at the saturation of M is called the saturation induction (~ 1 T)
Saturation induction • Two ways for aligning of magnetic domains: • Growth of favorably oriented domains (initially) • Rotation of domains (finally) Initial permeability
