Abstract

Of course, the field of magnetism, and particularly magnetic materials, is vast, and providing a comprehensive overview is far beyond the scope of this book; however, attempts are made to cover defect induced magnetism in a concise and concrete manner. One will gain knowledge of electromagnetic fields, their characteristics in a vacuum, and their interactions with matter by doing this. One will also find that not all materials respond to these fields in the same way, and depending on the type of reaction, some materials are given names like paramagnets or ferromagnets. One will also discover the role of defects in inducing the magnetism in the materials. Continue reading to learn how these various magnetic materials came to be, from the macroscopic scale all the way down to the atomic scale, where quantum mechanical effects must be taken into account in order to fully comprehend these magnetic materials. This roadmap tries to stay away from the more complicated quantum mechanics-related topics as much as possible while loosely following the field’s historical development.
