Talk:Ferromagnetism

message: There is a lot of discussion of the properties of various types of magnetic materials as to how to maximize  the internal properties or the materials. However there is practically no discussion of what controls the intensity of magnetic force activity in the interacting field spacial volume. If a suspended magnet is swung like a pendulum over an opposing polarity magnetic the interaction of the fields will control the physical activity (motion) of the moving magnet at some distance. The question is as to how this magnetic force is capable of being extended so as to continue to act is not discussed.WFPM (talk) 23:54, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Interacting magnetic fields

message: I think this article could benefit from a hysteresis diagram like found in standard textbooks and like can be found in the ferroelectricity article:

replies: text: A section on hysteresis would be good, with a diagram and a discussion of some of the hysteresis parameters. Even if such a section is created, though, there remain a couple of problems with your statement . First, the "most important" label is arguable: one can also talk about more fundamental parameters like the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant. Also, you're really talking about a particular hysteresis loop, the main loop. Clearly that must be clarified in the body of the text before adding a statement to the lead. Note also that, per MOS:LEAD, the lead should summarize the content, not add significant new information. RockMagnetist (talk) 14:55, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Diagram request

message: I was wondering if it's worth making a new section about this topic. It appears that it has only been researched recently and it is not yet well understood as it occurs only under particular conditions. Here is a link to an article that got me thinking about this: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921510715001622

replies: text: My feeling is that it doesn't merit a separate section but just a sentence or two.  This article already has several sections, Actinide ferromagnets and Lithium gas  that give WP:UNDUE WEIGHT to exotic ferromagnetic species.  All these should probably be boiled down to a few sentences. --ChetvornoTALK 19:49, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Room temeprature ferromagnetism in transition metal oxides 

message: If this is covered somewhere, I missed it. I think the article should cover this. It explains magnetism in terms of electrons, but never discusses why electrons have magnetism. It's not in the electron article either. deisenbe (talk) 13:50, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Depends who you're asking. There is no rigorous definition of what a metalloid is and many elements have been included as such, including C, Al, and P. Double sharp (talk) 13:59, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: I pointed out an error.

message: The Wikipedia pages for Ferrimagnetism, Antiferromagnetism, Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism all begin with a succinct explanation of the mechanism involved, each involving a diagram that shows the magnetic moments of the atoms or molecules involved. I understand that ferromagnetism is a more widely used term than any of the above, but for people looking to understand the differences between the types of magnetism, I think a section formatted in parallel to the explanations on the above pages could be useful.
