Types of Magnetic Materials: From Ferromagnets to Cancer-Treating Nanoparticles

What makes iron magnetic but copper non-magnetic? The answer lies in unpaired electron spins and exchange interactions. This episode classifies all types of magnetic behaviour (diamagnetic, paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic), explains hysteresis loops, and covers exciting applications including magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment. Topics: magnetic materials | ferromagnetism | paramagnetism | hysteresis loop | magnetic nanoparticles | magnetic hyperthermia | spintronics.Don’t forget to share the podcast and leave a 5 ⭐️ review if you like the episode.
