WEISS THEORY OF FERRO MAGNETISM

WEISS THEORY OF FERRO MAGNETISM

Ferro magnetic substances have strong magnetic properties such as permeability and susceptibility.
The reason for these properties is every atom in the Ferro substance is like a small magnet. Hence every atom is a dipole.
According to Weiss theory a group of small atomic magnets form a region called domain.
Within a domain the dipole direction of group of atomic magnets is same. But the direction of dipoles for all domains is random.
In the normal condition i.e. in the absence of external magnetic field all the domains form a closed chain.
When the substance is placed in an external field and the field is increased then the substance is magnetized. The dipole arrangement of domains gradually is aligned along the direction of external field.
Then the domain chain is broken and slowly the substance gets magnetized. The Ferro substance attains crystal structure.
In this way the Ferro substance possess an internal magnetic field and hence magnetic moment.
The intensity of magnetization I = magnetic moment / volume of the substance.
‘I ‘value increases gradually and gets saturated at a certain point. At this saturated state the Ferro substance has maximum magnetic moment as all tiny dipoles are aligned along the direction of external field.


If β is smolecular strength, the internal magnetic field developed with in the ferro substance is 𝑩i= βi
The external magnetic field is denoted by B.
The resultant effective field on Ferro substance is 𝑩𝒆 = B + Βi

At any instant the ratio of intensity of magnetization I and saturated intensity of magnetization Is is constant,

                                𝐈 / Is  = constant.
                   𝐈 / 𝐈s  = coth(a )-(𝟏/a)
Where a = m B / KT
m =magnetic moment of one gram mole of the substance, K = Boltzmann constant ant T= absolute temperature of the substance.

UNIT CELL AND LATTICE PARAMETERS

Unit cell In Crystals the arrangement of particles is described with three dimensional geometrical  parallelepiped structure.  The unit cell is defined as the smallest size of parallelepiped structure with  minimum number of atoms. In a unit cell there are 6 faces and 8 corners. So 8 atoms are required to form a unit cell and all the  8 atoms are located at the 8 corners each. Lattice Lattice is defined as a three dimensional array of atoms. It describes the size and shape of the unit cell. Parameters of a unit cell A unit cell is described by six parameters. These parameters are three dimensions  and the  angles between them . The Dimensions of unit cell  along three axes of a unit cell are represented by (a, b ,c) . The angle between b and c is represented by α, between a and c by β and between a and b by γ. we can identify the structure of crystal by knowing the parameters of unit cell. Properties of unit cell : 1. Unit cell is...

BCS THEORY ON SUPERCONDUCTIVITY

BCS theory on superconductors. This theory was proposed by three scientists Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer in 1957.  This theory  explains about zero resistance of a superconductor. In normal substances the flow of free electrons is opposed by the vibration of ions or atoms in the  lattice due to the collision between them. Hence the normal conductors possess resistance. In the case of superconductors below the critical temperature (Tc), the atom or the ion is distorted  by the free electron during the collision.  The result produces a mechanical wave called phonon. During this collision the free electron exchanges an amount of its momentum with the lattice ion. Hence the momentum of free electron in reduced. It moves with less momentum. If another free electron collides with the distorted lattice ion (phonon), the second electron gains  an amount of momentum from the phonon. Hence the second free electron moves with greater momentum. But the ch...
