Magnetocrystalline anisotropy Magnetocrystalline anisotropy

Shape anisotropy is limited to Ksh = ¼ μ0Ms

2(1- 3N ); it implies κ <½. A better source

is magnetocrystalline anisotropy, mainly due to spin-orbit coupling and the crystal-field interaction. Ea = K1 sin2θ + . . . . . The leading term in the crystal-field interaction is

Hcf = B2

0{3Jz 2 - J(J+1)}

B2

0 = A2 0 θ2

K1

cf ~ B2

0 J2. It varies as the electric field gradient x atomic quadrupole

moment Spin-orbit coupling is stronger for 4f than 3d atoms. Hence the use of rare-earth intermaetallics as permanent magnets.

the constraint the constraint the constraint For bulk permanent magnets, we must choose elements which are easily available and cheap. 10 g for everyone on earth requires a million moles of magnet. This constraint does not apply for thin film devices. One mole is enough to provide everyone with a microchip containing a magnetic film a few nanometers thick.

The era of exponential improvement of energy product is

  • ver.

Emergence of a new permanent magnet material superior to Nd2Fe14B is unlikely. Rare earths are overpriced; prices should fall as production increases, but Dy will remain problematic. Rare-earth free bulk magnets can be envisaged. Materials should be Fe or Mn based; >100 kJm-3 should be achievable, maybe 200 kJm-3 The challenge for two-phase hard/soft nanostructures is to align the hard nanoparticles. The megajoule magnet seems to out of reach Good prospects exist for new perpendicular thin films for magnetic recording or spin electronics.
