Ferromagnetic materials are the most magnetically active substances in the world, and so they have very high magnetic susceptibilities, ranging from 1000 up to 100,000. These materials are made of ... If the atoms are of the right type and if the bond lengths are right, ... The domains also make permanent magnets possible.

Ferromagnetism is characterized by the strong attraction of one magnetized body for another. ... Some materials having atoms with unequal moments exhibit a special form of ferromagnetism below the Curie temperature called ferrimagnetism. See also Curie temperature; Curie-Weiss law; Electron spin; Ferrimagnetism;

Fe, Co and Ni are materials associated with ferromagnetism, together with their alloys. However, there are also many other materials showing a ferromagnetic behaviour. ... This is called band magnetism or collective electron ferromagnetism and arise at reciprocal action between the atoms within a crystal.

Ferromagnetic materials generally contain iron, ... Ferromagnetic materials are also characterized by being made up of clusters of 10^17 to 10^21 atoms called magnetic domains, ... On MR images, these materials cause susceptibility artifacts characterized by loss of signal and spatial distortion. This can occur with even fragments...
