magnetization
This term is primarily used in physics and materials science to describe both a dynamic process and a static property. When referring to the process, it describes the transition of a material from a non-magnetic state to a magnetic one, often through the application of an external magnetic field.
In a quantitative context, it refers to a specific physical property—the magnetic moment per unit volume. This usage is highly technical and typically appears in academic papers or engineering specifications, often paired with modifiers like saturation or remanent to specify the exact state of the magnetic field.
Meanings
Examples
The process of magnetization occurs when the magnetic domains align in one direction.
We need to check the magnetization of the core before starting the experiment.
The technician explained that the magnetization of the steel was uneven.
I wonder if this old piece of iron has any residual magnetization.
The sample reached saturation magnetization after the external field was increased.
Wait, did you forget to perform the magnetization step on the hard drive platter?
The sudden magnetization of the object surprised the researchers.
The level of magnetization varies depending on the temperature of the material.
