Given the explanation provided, then, wherein an incident field imposes a spin value in the z-direction, how can we know the domain orientation in x, y, z space of dipoles in a ferromagnetic material? Reading physics.stackexchange.com/questions/166566/… , uncertainty seems to suggest that we...

I've been recently trying to understand the concept of paramagnetism, but I feel like I'm running into 2 conflicting models. Stern–Gerlach seems to suggest that electron spins always point up or down to an incident magnetic field, regardless of their spatial orientation. Similarly, when...
