Discussion Although we restricted ourselves to the static case,

results obtained are of general nature Concept of magnetic dipoles can be derived for time

dependent-currents as well (see Jackson), despite the fact that currents may not be divergence-free

But time-dependent Green’s functions are needed for the calculation of their fields and (vector) potentials

(iii) Microscopic magnetization density

Complete theory must be based on quantum mechanical operators for spin and orbital angular moments

Spin is of (relativistic) quantum mechanical origin. The factor g(Lande g-factor) is nearly 2 due to relativistic effects

It turns out that one can still relate the dipole moment to J, the total angular momentum

(ii) Classical motion of an atomic dipole in a magnetic field The frequency of rotation is the Larmor frequency

moment is preserved in time: the dipole is considered as a rigid body

In reality the magnetic field also affects the microscopic currents inside an atomic dipole. But this change is negligibly small in practical situations

(iii) Damped motion of magnetic dipoles If the energy remains constant, how will the dipole try to

reach the minimum energy direction along the field? Tendency of physical systems to reach their minimum

energy state is of statistical nature, caused by the interaction with the outside world.

This interaction is irreversible: it involves the transfer of energy from the system to the environment.

For the dipole, this effect is taken into account in a phenomenological way by introducing “friction” which slows down the dipole motion

Page 41: Microwave Magnetics 1.ppt - Sharifee.sharif.edu/~mwmagnetics/Microwave Magnetics_1.pdf · 2016-02-09 · 5hylhz ri pdjqhwlvp ,qwurgxfwlrq 0djqhwlvp lq 0lfurzdyhv eulhi klvwru\ ::

Review of magnetism 41

(iii) Damped motion of magnetic dipoles To the dipole equation of motion, we add a friction term:

ed ddt dt Bm mm m

As the dipole rotates around the magnetic field, its angle with the field will decrease in time due to damping.

The dipole looses its (potential) energy, and eventually reaches the minimum energy direction.

(iv) Equation of motion of macroscopic magnetization The equation of motion of the dipole can de generalized

Review of magnetism 43

(iv) Equation of motion of macroscopic magnetization But, there are some issues with this model: Equation of motion describes the evolution of magnetization from

an initial state. What is nature of this state? The magnetic field contains both external and internal field. The

latter is the collective field generated by all the dipoles in thematerial.

Are the magnetic forces the only forces acting on the dipoles? What about thermal fluctuations?

Answering these questions requires knowledge of microscopic forces between dipoles, and their relative alignment in magnetic materials
