• The materials which strongly attract a piece of iron are known as
magnetic materials or magnets
• The magnetic property of a material arises due to the magnetic
moment or magnetic dipole of materials.
• Materials which are magnetized by the application of an external
field are known as magnetic materials.

• They do not have a permanent dipole moment.
• Magnetic effects are very weak and hence, often masked by other
kind of magnetism.
• The magnetisation becomes zero on removal of the external field
• The susceptibility of a diamagnetic material is negative.
• The susceptibility is independent of temperature and external field.

PH3256 – PHYSICS FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE UNIT III – MAGNETIC MATERIALS
• The dipoles are aligned antiparallel as shown in figure.
• When the temperature increases, susceptibility increase and
reaches a maximum at a temperature known as Neel temperature
beyound which it decreases.
• The value of susceptibility is positive an is vey small when T is
greater then the Neel temperature Tn
