  • Abstract
    A FERROMAGNETIC crystal is composed of small regions or domains which are magnetized to saturation. When the crystal is unmagnetized the domains are arranged so that the net magnetization is zero. The application of a magnetic field changes the domain structure. The domains that are favorably oriented with respect to the applied field grow at the expense of those less favorably oriented, so that the net magnetization is no longer zero.
