Domain Theory of Ferromagnetic Materials Confidential 50

Domain Theory of Ferromagnetism The domain in ferromagnetic solid is understandable from thermo dynamical principle (i. e, ) in equilibrium the total energy of the system is minimum. Total Energy of the domains comprises the sum of (i) Exchange Energy (or) Magnetic Field Energy (ii) Anisotropic Energy => Easy and Hard direction (iii) Domain Wall Energy => Thick wall and Thin Wall (iv) Magneto-strictive Energy Confidential 51

Exchange Energy or Magnetic Field Energy • The interaction energy that makes the adjacent dipoles to align themselves is known as Exchange Energy. • It establishes a single domain in the ferromagnetic material. • It is the energy required in assembling the atomic magnets into a single domain and this work done is stored as potential energy. Confidential 52

Confidential 53

Anisotropy Energy • Two types of directions of magnetization • Easy Direction • Hard Direction • Along easy direction weak field. • Along hard direction strong field. • For producing same amount of magnetisation. • The excess of energy required to magnetize the specimen along hard direction over that required to magnetize the specimen along easy direction is called crystalline anistropy energy. Confidential 54

Confidential 55

Domain Wall Energy or Bloch Wall Energy • Bloch is a transition layer which separates the adjacent domains, magnetized in different directions. • Based on the spin alignments Thick Wall & Thin Wall • Thick Wall: When the spins at the boundary are misaligned and if the direction of the spins changes gradually. The misalignment of spins is associated with exchange energy. • Thin Wall: When the spins at the boundaries changes abruptly, then the anistropic energy becomes very less. • Ansitropy energy is directly proportional to the thickness of the wall. Confidential 56

Domain Structure and the Hysteresis Loop • Bloch walls - The boundaries between magnetic domains. • The entire change in spin direction between domains does not occur in one sudden jump across a single atomic plane rather takes place in a gradual way extending over many atomic planes. Bloch Wall • The magnetic moments in adjoining atoms change direction continuously across the boundary between domains. Confidential 57

Magnetostrictive Energy • When the domains are magnatised in different directions, they will either expand or shrink this leads to deformation of the material, when magnetised. This phenomenon is known as magnetostriction. • Energy produced in this effect is called Magnetostriction Energy. • The deformation is different along different crystal directions & the change in dimension depends on nature of the material. Confidential 58

Confidential 59

Confidential 60

Ferromagnetism • Materials that retain a magnetization in zero field • Quantum mechanical exchange interactions favour parallel alignment of moments • Examples: iron, cobalt Confidential 61

• According to Becker, there are two independent processes which take place and lead to magnetization when magnetic field is applied. 1. Domain wall moment or Domain growth 2. Domain rotation Confidential 62

Domain wall moment or Domain wall growth • Volume of favorably oriented domains will increase. • Occurs at low magnetic field. • It is a reversible process. Rotation of Domains • Rotation of less favorably oriented domains takes place. • Occurs at large magnetic field. • It is a irreversible process. Confidential 63

Domain Structure and the Hysteresis Loop 1. Domain growth: 1. Each domain is magnetized in a different direction 2. Applying a field changes domain structure. Domains with magnetization in direction of field grow. 3. Other domains shrink 2. Domain rotation: Finally by applying very strong fields can saturate magnetization by creating single domain Confidential 64

Magnetic domains • Applying very strong fields can saturate magnetization by creating single domain Confidential 65

Hysteresis Curve • Means lagging or retarding of an effect behind the cause of the effect. • Here effect is B & cause of the effect is H. • Also called B H curve. • Hysteresis in magnetic materials means lagging of magnetic induction (B) or magnetization (M) behind the magnetizing field (H). Confidential 66

Confidential 67

Domain Structure and the Hysteresis Loop • “Domains” with aligned magnetic moment grow at expense of poorly aligned ones! Confidential 68

Domain Structure and the Hysteresis Loop Ø When a magnetic field is first applied to a magnetic material, magnetization initially increases slowly, then more rapidly as the domains begin to grow. Ø Later, magnetization slows, as domains must eventually rotate to reach saturation. • Notice the permeability values depend upon the magnitude of H. Confidential 69

Hysteresis Loop • Hysteresis loop - The loop traced out by magnetization in a • ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material as the magnetic field is cycled. OR Removing the field does not necessarily return domain structure to original state. Hence results in magnetic hysteresis. B 2. apply H, cause alignment 3. remove H, alignment stays! => permanent magnet! 4. Coercivity, HC Negative H needed to demagnitize!

Hysteresis Loop Magnetization by domain rotation Domain growth irreversible boundary displacements. • Means lagging or retarding of an effect behind the cause of the effect. • Here effect is B & cause of the effect is H. • Also called B H curve. • Hysteresis in magnetic materials means lagging of magnetic induction (B) or magnetization (M) behind the magnetizing field (H). Domain growth reversible boundary displacements. Confidential 73

Hysteresis, Remanence, & Coercivity of Ferromagnetic Materials Confidential 74

“hard” ferromagnetic material has a large M 0 and large Hc. “soft” ferromagnetic material has both a small M 0 and Hc. Confidential 75

Confidential 76

Confidential 77

Hard versus Soft Magnets: Characteristics of soft magnetic materials: Ø High initial permeability. Ø Low coercivity. Ø Reaches to saturation magnetization with a relatively low applied magnetic field. Ø It can be easily magnetized and demagnetized. Ø Low Hysteresis loss. Ø Applications involve, generators, motors, dynamos, Cores of transformers and switching circuits. Confidential 78

Importance of Soft Magnetic Materials: Ø Saturation magnetization can be changed by altering composition of the materials. Ex: - substitution of Ni 2+ in place of Fe 2+ changes saturation magnetization of ferrous-Ferrite. Ø Susceptibility and coercivity which also influence the shape of the Hysteresis curve are sensitive to the structural variables rather than composition. Ø Low value of coercivity corresponds to the easy movement of domain walls as magnetic field changes magnitude and/ or direction. Confidential 79

Hard versus Soft Magnets Hard Magnets: Characteristics of Hard magnetic materials: ü Low initial permeability. ü High coercivity and High remanence. ü High saturation flux density. ü Reaches to saturation magnetization with a high applied magnetic field. ü It can not be easily magnetized and demagnetized. ü High Hysteresis loss. ü Used as permanent magnets. Confidential 80

Importance of Hard magnetic material Two important characteristics related to applications of these materials are (i) Coercivity and (ii) energy product expressed as (BH)max with units in k. J/m 3. v This corresponds to the area of largest B-H rectangle that can be constructed within the second quadrant of the Hysteresis curve. v Larger the value of energy product harder is the material in terms of its magnetic characteristics. Schematic magnetization curve that displays hysteresis. Within the second quadrant are drawn two B–H energy product rectangles; the area of that rectangle labeled (BH)max is the largest possible, which is greater than the area defined by Bd– Hd Confidential 81

Who to get larger area of (BH)max i. e. , who to produce Hard magnets? Ø Energy product represents the amount of energy required to demagnetize a permanent magnet. Ø Hysteresis behaviour depends upon the movement of domain walls. Ø The movement of domain walls depends on the final microstructure. Ex: the size, shape and orientation of crystal domains and impurities. Ø Microstructure will depend upon how the material is processed. Ø In a hard magnetic material, impurities are purposely introduced, to make it hard. Due to these impurities domain walls cannot move easily. Ø Finally the coercivity can increase and susceptibility can be decrease. Ø So large external field is required to demagnetization i. e. , difficult to move the domain walls. Confidential 82
