ferromagnet
- noun
- /ˈfɛroʊˌmæɡnɪt/
- Specialized
- Spin-dependent tunneling occurs because spin-up and spin-down electrons occupy different densities of states in a ferromagnet.
I mean that the spontaneous magnetization of a ferromagnet would be lower than saturation.
- I mean that the spontaneous magnetization of a ferromagnet would be lower than saturation.
Examples
-
Gadolinium's magnetocaloric effect is from two and a half to three times larger than the familiar ferromagnet iron, which orders well above room temperature.
Academic text (1994) -
When these spin-down charges tunnel across the insulating barrier, they are accepted into the numerous empty spin-down states on the other side, provided that the two ferromagnets have the same orientation.

I mean that the spontaneous magnetization of a ferromagnet would be lower than saturation.
-
Simple examples are the domains in a ferromagnet; domain walls separate regions where magnetic dipoles are aligned.
Academic text (2005) -
The technique works because the heat transfer fluid—helium gas that passes through a bed of ferromagnet particles—is distinct from the solid refrigerant.
Academic text (1994) -
Because the question was central to particle physics (in particular, quantum chromodynamics) and condensed matter physics (low-dimensional ferromagnets), Adrian considered a mathematically rigorous resolution to be of great importance.
Academic text (2002) -
A ferromagnet, like iron, can become magnetized and will remain that way even without a magnetic field.
-
Many consumer products, such as refrigerator magnets, are made from ferromagnet materials.
-
When the ferromagnet is heated above its Curie temperature, it loses its magnetic properties.
Synonyms
A magnet that stays magnetic without electricity
An object that keeps the power to attract iron without electricity

Etymology
Ferromagnet combines ferro- ('iron') and magnet ('magnet'), so the word literally means an 'iron magnet'. That's why a ferromagnet is a material, like iron, that easily becomes magnetic and can keep its magnetism.
