Ferrimagnetism and Ferrites

Properties

It is a special case of magnetic material and it is composed of two sets of different transition metal ions having different values of magnetic moment with antiparallel alignment.

FERRIMAGNETISM AND FERRITES

It is a special case of magnetic material and it is composed of two sets of different transition metal ions having different values of magnetic moment with antiparallel alignment as shown in Fig. 3.29.

Hence these material have antiparallel magnetic moments of different magnitudes, giving rise to fairly large magnetic moment in the presence of external magnetic field (Fig. 3.30).


Properties

1. The susceptibility is very large and is positive represented by

X = C / T±Ɵ when T> TN

2. Beyond the Neel temperature, X decreases.

3. These materials have low eddy current losses, and low hysteresis losses.

4. They have hysteresis loop in the form of a square and hence will have low coercivity.
