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.
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
MHB 00
B never saturates
M saturates
The value of B at the saturation of M is called the saturation induction (~ 1 T)
Two ways for aligning of magnetic domains:
1.Growth of favorably oriented domains (initially)
2.Rotation of domains (finally)

The term “ferrite’ means different to different scientists.
To metallurgists, ferrite means pure iron. To geologists, ferrites are a group of minerals based on iron oxide.
To an electrical engineer, ferrites are a group of materials based on iron oxide, but one that have particular useful properties: magnetic and dielectric.
Magnetite or Lodestone is a naturally occurring iron oxide that is considered a ferrite by both geologists and engineers. Over 2,000 years ago, the Greeks recognized the strange properties of Lodestone and almost 1000 years ago the Chinese used it to invent the magnetic compass. Dielectric properties mean that even though electromagnetic waves can pass through ferrites, they do not readily conduct electricity. This gives them an advantage over iron, nickel and other transition metals that have magnetic properties (“ferromagnetic”) in many applications because these metals also conduct electricity.
Magnetite, i.e., Fe+2Fe+3O-4 (FeO,Fe2O3) is a naturally occurring ferrite. The first artificial ferrite was actually made in 1909 by Hilpert.
Scientific research on ferrite begun in the mid - nineteenth century. Two Japanese scientists Kato Yogoro and Takei Takeshi (1932) took the initiative in conducting serious research oriented to industrial applications. Their series of research results on Cu ferrite and Co ferrite in the year beginning 1932 become the nucleus and motive force which, as is well known led to the world’s first application of ferrite on a commercial basis.
ORIGIN OF MAGNETISM
Basically every materials is magnetic in nature, as it possess charged particles which are in continuous motion. Magnetism is present mainly due to the motion of electrons.

B = 9.27 x 10-21 erg/oersted
The magnetic interaction, which arises because of the relative orientations of the orbital and spin moments of various electrons are as follows:
• The coupling of orbital motion of electrons and spin momenta leads to Coulomb
interaction.• Spin – orbit interactions, which magnetically
couple the orbital motion of each electron to its own spin.
• Interactions produced because of electric field of neighbouring ions of the crystalline lattice.
CLASSIFICATION OF MAGNETIC MATERIALS
• Non – Cooperative phenomenaWhere there is no collective magnetic interaction of atomic magnetic moments with each other and are not magnetically ordered.
ex: (i) Diamagnetic materials (ii) Paramagnetic materials
• Cooperative phenomenaWhere the magnetic dipoles interact with each other introduces three types of behaviour, ex: (i) Ferromagnetism (ii) Antiferromagnetism (iii) Ferrimagnetism.

GENERAL PROPERTIES OF FERRITES
• Ferrites are generally black or grey in appearance. Most ferrites are opaque. This can be attributed to the approximately equal energies of the 3d and 4s states. This is also because the absorption in case of ferrites crystal structure occurs only in visible
range thus making them black by Waldron (1961). .
• Ferrites have high dielectric constant. Its values are generally of the order of thousands at lower frequencies, falling to about ten to twenty at microwave frequencies. This is due to the close-packed structure( hcp ) of oxygen ions .
GENERAL PROPERTIES OF FERRITES
• Ferrites are very hard and brittle and have high melting point. Again this is due to the fact
that oxygen ions have a close-packed spatial formation, thus making the ionic bonds very strong.
• The ferrites melting points are difficult to measure because they lose oxygen at high temperatures.
• Ferrites are non-conductors of electricity but behave as semiconductors under the
influence of an applied electric field.
Ferrites are best known for their
magnetic properties. • Magnetic Anisotropy: - Most of the ferrites have an ability to get completely magnetized along a preferred axis on the application of magnetic field.
• Hysteresis and Permeability: - Ferrites have either thin hysteresis loop or square loops. The ferrites with this loop come under the class of soft ferrites and finds applications in devices like
transformers and inductors. The other with square loop are classified as hard ferrites which find applications in memory devices
CLASSIFICATION OF FERRITES
Ferrites are usually classified as soft ferrites , moderate and hard ferrites. The distinguishing characteristic of the first group is high permeability. Its flux – multiplying power made it suitable for their job in machines and devices.
The terms “SOFT” has nothing to do with their physical properties but refers to their magnetic characteristics. Soft ferrite dose not retain significant magnetization whereas hard ferrite magnetization is considered permanent. Soft ferrite is the general term to a class of ceramic and electromagnetic materials.
Magnetically hard materials, on the other hand are made into permanent magnets having high coercivity as it once magnetized may be able to resist the demagnetizing action of stray fields including its own.

Co ferrite – distribution of cations over A and B sites
Garnet FerritesThese are the ferrites that can accommodate large trivalent rare earth ions with large magnetic moments. Garnet ferrites have the structure of the silicate mineral garnet. Magnetic garnets crystallize in the dodecahedral or 12-sided structure related to the mineral garnet. The general formula is 3Me2O3.5Fe2O3 or Me3Fe5O12. It is to be noted that in this case all the metal ions are trivalent in contrast to the other two classes. In the important magnetic garnets, Me is usually Yttrium (Y) or one of the rare earth ions.
The general formula of the garnets can be represented schematically by {C3}[A2](D3)O12 where the cations are subdivided into three main sites with different coordinates. The cation C has dodecahedral, A octahedral and D tetrahedral coordination.
Naturally occurring magnetite is a weak ‘hard’ ferrite. Hard ferrites possess magnetism, which is essentially permanent. Man made hard ferrites with superior properties were developed but producing an analogous ‘soft’ magnetic material in the laboratory proved elusive.
In the case of hard ferrites, a strong magnetization remains after a magnetizing field has been removed and residual magnetization is stable even if certain strength of demagnetizing field is applied.

Spinel (cubic ferrites): Soft magnets
Garnet (rare earth ferrites): Microwave devices
Magnetoplumbite (hexagonal ferrites): Hard magnets
Aplication ofAplication of Soft Soft MagneticsMagneticsIn the soft magnetic materials, only a
small field is necessary to cause demagnetization and very small energy losses occur per cycle of hysteresis loop.
This is important for applications such as transformers used in touch tone telephones or inductors or magnetic memory cores.
During used a soft ferrites has its magnetic domains rapidly and easily realigned by the changing magnetic field.
Aplication of Aplication of Hard Hard MagneticsMagnetics
A hard (or permanent) ceramic magnet achieves its magnetization during manufacture.
The magnetic domains are “frozen in” by poling in an applied magnetic field as the material is cooled through its Tc.
The materials are magnetically very hard and will retain in service the residual flux density, that remains after the strong magnetizing field has been removed.
Hard ferrites are used in loudspeakers, motors.
Aplication of FerritesAplication of FerritesThe cubic spinels, also called ferrospinels,
are used as soft magnetic materials because of their very low coercive force of 4x10-5 weber/m2 and high saturation magnetization 0.3-0.4 weber/m2.(1 weber = 1 volt-second = 108 Maxwells)
Flux density (induction): 1 Tesla = 104 Gauss = 1 weber/m2. (1 Gauss = 1 Maxwell/cm2).
Hexagonal ferrites are hard magnetic materials with coercive force of 0.2 – 0.4 weber/m2 and large resistance to demagnetization, 2 – 3 J/m3.
Aplication of GarnetsAplication of Garnets
Garnets are especially suited for high frequency microwave applications due to the ability to tailor properties such as magnetization, line width, g-factor, Tc, and temperature stability.
The most common garnet ferrites are based upon 3Y2O3 : 5Fe2O3 or Y3Fe5O12 or YIG.
Tape RecordingTape Recording Before passing over the record
head, a tape passes over the erase head which applies a high amplitude, high frequency magnetic field to the tape to erase any previously recorded signal and to thoroughly randomize the magnetization of the magnetic emulsion.
The gap in the erase head is wider than those in the record head; the tape stays in the field of the head longer to thoroughly erase any previously recorded signal.
Tape RecordingTape Recording High fidelity tape recording requires a high
frequency biasing signal to be applied to the tape head along with the signal to "stir" the magnetization of the tape .
This is because magnetic tapes are very sensitive to their previous magnetic history, a property called hysteresis.
A magnetic "image" of a sound signal can be stored on tape in the form of magnetized iron oxide or chromium dioxide granules in a magnetic emulsion.
The tiny granules are fixed on a polyester film base, but the direction and extent of their magnetization can be changed to record an input signal from a tape head.
ElectromagnetElectromagnet Electromagnets are usually in the form
of iron core solenoids. The ferromagnetic property of the iron
core causes the internal magnetic domains of the iron to line up with the smaller driving magnetic field driving produced by the current in the solenoid.
The solenoid field relationship is
and k is the relative permeability of the iron, shows the magnifying effect of the iron core.
TransformerTransformer A transformer makes use of Faraday’s law
and the ferromagnetic properties of an iron core to efficiently raise or lower AC voltages.
It of course cannot increase power so that if the voltage is raised, the current is proportionally lowered and vice versa.

Applications of GMRApplications of GMR The largest technological application of GMR is
in the data storage industry. IBM were first to market with hard disks based
on GMR technology although today all disk drives make use of this technology.
On-chip GMR sensors are available commercially from Non-Volatile Electronics.
It is expected that the GMR effect will allow disk drive manufacturers to continue increasing density at least until disk capacity reaches 10 Gb per square inch.
At this density, 120 billion bits could be stored on a typical 3.5-inch disk drive, or the equivalent of about a thousand 30-volume encyclopedias.
Applications of GMRApplications of GMRGMR also may spur the replacement of RAM
in computers with magnetic RAM (MRAM). Using GMR, it may be possible to make thin-
film MRAM that would be just as fast, dense, and inexpensive.
It would have the additional advantages of being nonvolatile and radiation-resistant.
Data would not be lost if the power failed unexpectedly, and the device would continue to function in the presence of ionizing radiation, making it useful for space and defense applications.
Other applications are as diverse as solid-state compasses, automotive sensors, non-volatile magnetic memory and the detection of landmines.

ConclusionsConclusions
ConclusionsConclusions The saturation magnetizations are closely related to the distribution and concentration of Cr3+ ions on the five crystallographic sites. Magnetic and Mossbauer results show that Cr3+ ions preferentially occupy the octahedral 2a, 4fVI, and 12k sites. With Cr entering the Fe crystallographic sites, the saturation magnetization dramatically falls but the coercivity increases. The decrease in magnetization is therefore attributed to Cr3+ ions occupying on the spin up Fe
sites (2a and 12k sites) and magnetic dilution or non-collinear structure. It is evident that the Fe3+–O–Fe3+ super-exchange interaction may be weakened by Cr3+(3d3) substituting into some Fe(3d5) sites.
