OK, Now the place that we are is far from that saturation magnetization.

Examples

  • Although little is known about the relationships of marine animals' movements to patterns of seafloor magnetization, there is evidence that various species of animals do make use of these fields.

    Academic text (1995)
  • The magnetization is zero above and finite, nonzero below the critical point, called a Curie point in this context.

    Academic text (2002)
  • And they are set up such that some of the magnetization is up or down.

  • OK, you asked me how can you get the magnetization to go in the opposite direction?

  • At first the magnetization is nice and smooth until it gets to this point.

  • All of the grains have their magnetizations aligned in one of two possible states, which correspond to zeros and ones.

  • The fact that the Co content in the top layer was also depleted by a factor of two suggests that, as expected, the magnetization of Pt atoms is induced by neighboring Co atoms.

  • Designs using rare-earth magnets to attain high torque-to-size and force-to-size ratios and magnetization stability are presented.

    Academic text (1994)
  • The Wisconsin researchers suggest that interface roughness causes magnetic moments at the interface to be less strongly coupled to the film's bulk magnetization, especially where the roughness is sharpest and the magnetic atoms are relatively isolated.

    Academic text (1996)
  • The researchers measured the magnetization of the rock samples to determine their magnetic properties.

Morphology

magnetization = magnetize (transparent) = magnet + ize + ation

Standard nominalization from 'magnetize' indicating a property/state (degree of magnetism) as well as the process.

Etymology

Magnetization comes from magnet, named after the Greek place 'Magnesia' where magnetic stones were found, and the ending -ation 'the act or result'. So magnetization can mean the state or amount of being magnetic, or how strongly something is magnetized.
