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

- 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:

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.
