Torque and precession

Zeeman energy of magnetic moment in an external magnetic field:

B m

  • =

E   ⋅

Energy is minimized for m || B. B is the magnetic induction or the magnetic field density. Applying B, a torque is exerted on m:

B m T    × =

If m were just a dipole, such as the electric dipole, it would be turned into the field direction to minimize the energy. However, m is connected with an angular momentum, thus torque causes the dipole to precess:

B L γ dt L d T     × = =

Assuming B = Bz, the precessional frequency is:

z L

B γ = ω

Bz ωL is called the Lamor frequency. See also EPR, FMR, MRI, etc.

Application of an external field:

  • a. Paramagnetism: χ>0 und µr >1
  • b. Diamagnetism: χ< 0 und µr <1

Ideal diagmagnetism, realized in superconductors with M and B antiparallel, for χ = − 1 and µr =0.

Magnetic moments align parallel to external field, field lines are more dense in the material than in vacuum. External field is weakend by inducing screening currents according to Lenz

  • rule. Field lines are less dense than

in vacuum.

  • c. Ferromagnetism:

Spontaneous Magnetization without external field due to the interaction of magnetic moments µr attaines very high values for ferromagnets, > 104-105

( χ is normalized to the magnetization of 1 cm3 containing one 1 Mol of gas at 1 Oe)

  • All noble metals and noble gases are diamagnetic. In case of the nobel

metals Ag, Au, Cu mainly the d-electrons contribute to the diamagnetism.

  • In 3d transition metals the diamagnetismus is usually exceeded by the

much bigger paramagnetic response.

Magnetic moment:

χ 1 T

Linear dependence fullfilled at high temperatures. At low T often deviations observed due to interactions.

But: However, magnetism is not a classical problem, thus Langevin function is only a rough

  • approximation. As quantum mechanics allows only discrete values for the z-

component of the magnetic moments, a different approach has to be chosen ⇒ Brillouin function replaces the Langevin function. – The susceptibility of superparamagnetic particles containing a macrospin can be treated classically as the spin orientation of nanoparticles in the field is continuous.
