Magnetization Direction of Anisotropic Magnets Archives | Stanford Magnets

Magnetic materials can either be described as isotropic or anisotropic. This largely depends on how direction affects their magnetic property. What are isotropic materials and how do they compare to anisotropic materials? Isotropic magnets are magnets that do not have their magnetic properties dependent on their magnetization direction. For these magnets, magnetization can occur in
