Magnetism
The basic magnetic properties of a material are often described by a B-H curve. (B Magnetic flux density or mag. Induction (Gauss or Tesla), H Magnetic field strength (Oe or A/m) Materials either slightly reject magnetic fields (diamagnetism) or reinforce them (paramagnetism). A limited set of materials (Fe,Co,Ni,Gd and some transition metal oxides) exhibit ferromagnetism, i.e. spontaneous alignment of atomic spins.

(a) The ferromagnetic hysteresis M-H loop showing the effect of the magnetic field on inductance or magnetization. The dipole alignment leads to saturation magnetization (point 3), a remanance (point 4), and a coercive field (point 5). (b) The corresponding B-H loop. Notice the end of the B-H loop, the B value does not saturate since B = 0H + 0M. (Source: Adapted from Permanent Magnetism, by R. Skomski and J.M.D. Coey, p. 3, Fig. 1-1.

Magnetism
B= H+ 4M where M is called the magnetisation of the material. For a material in which the magnetisation is thought to be proportional to the applied field strength we define M = H Combining the above two equations we get: B = H(1+4) =H Finally , we need to define the magnetic moment ,m, through the following equation: M = m/ V that is the magnetisation is the magnetic moment per unit volume.

When a external field is applied, dispersed magnetic particles are exposed to one dominant force, namely the attraction to zones of denser magnetic flux densities B:
In order to calculate the force that acts on a particle, it is important to consider the magnetic flux density of an external magnet, Be, as well as that of the other particles in the dispersion, Bp:
BE causes an orientation of the particles magnetic moments parallel to the magnetic field lines. Therefore the interaction between two particles with the same magnetic moment m is :
Using equation one can derive the limit between attractive and repulsing arrays. With angles smaller than 54.7 (=arccos%(1/3)), particles with parallel magnetic moments are attracted, otherwise repulsed. In a head-to-tail-position, the attraction between two particles is maximal; in a side-by-side-position the repulsion is maximal.

Spintronics
An mehrlagigen Fe/Cr-Schichten entdeckte Grnberg 1986, da sich die Magnetisierungen benachbarter Fe-Schichten bei Cr-Lagendicken um 1 nm antiparallel ausrichten. Eine weitere Entdeckung von Baibich et al. an derartigen Schichtsystemen aus ferro-magnetischen und nicht-magnetischen Metallen fhrte dann zur Definition des Riesenmagnetowiderstandseffektes oder GMR-Effektes ("Giant Magnetoresistance"): Wird durch ein ueres Magnetfeld die Magnetisierung der einzelnen Lagen parallel ausgerichtet, so sinkt der elektrische Widerstand des Systems erheblich. Der GMR-Effekt ist auf spinabhngige Streuung an den Phasengrenzen - intrinsischer GMR - und an Verunreinigungen - extrinsischer GMR zurckzufhren. Bereits bei Raumtemperatur erhlt man Widerstandsnderungen von bis zu 50 % bei Feldstrken von etwa 2 Tesla. Nobel Price 2007
The probability of spin-flip scattering processes in metals is normally small as compared to the probability of the scattering processes in which the spin is conserved. This means that the upspin and down-spin electrons do not mix over long distances and, therefore, the electrical conduction occurs in parallel for the two spin channels. Second, in ferromagnetic metals the scattering rates of the up-spin and down-spin electrons are quite different, whatever the nature of the scattering centers is. The band structure in a ferromagnet is is not the same for up-spin and down-spin electrons at the Fermi level. Scattering rates are proportional to the density of states, so the scattering rates and therefore resistivities are different for electrons of different spin. physics.unl.edu/.../tsymbal_files/GMR/gmr.html.
