Ferromagnetic effect at smaller/larger grain size

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on how the ferromagnetic effect varies with particle or grain size, specifically at nanometer and micrometer scales. Smaller particles may not exhibit ferromagnetic properties, while medium-sized particles show observable effects, which diminish again at larger sizes. The relationship between grain boundaries and ferromagnetic domain walls is also questioned, with a focus on understanding the underlying reasons for these changes in behavior. The participant expresses a desire for more detailed explanations and insights from others. Overall, the inquiry highlights the complexities of ferromagnetism as it relates to particle size.

Hi everybody,

I have faced with a problem in my report. The question said that "How can ferromagnetic effect change to depend on particle/grain size(at nm (10, 50, 100, 1000...) and at \mum (0.5, 1, 2...)?" (In shortly, what can we observe at feromagnetic effect if we increase and decrease of particle/grain size?). In my opinion, if I have so small particle, I can not observe any ferromagnetic effect or have medium size we can observe, but it will be larger than old, I cannot observe ferromagnetic effect again. But, I cannot explain the reason of these results. (Maybe my answers can be wrong:smile:). Has anybody know the answers of my questions?

I look forward to your answers. Thanks for everything.

What do you know about the relationship between grain boundaries and ferromagnetic domain walls?

I don't know much more thing about them. But, I try to learn and solve their relationship. I read D6, 1/D, constant law some journals, but they don't give much more information. They are talked about just their size relationship, shortly. But, I wonder what is the reason of this changing?
 
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
