The Magnetic Dipole Moment The magnetic moment m is the elementary quantity in solid state magnetism. Define a local moment density - magnetization - M(r,t) which fluctuates wildly on a sub-nanometer and a sub-nanosecond scale. Define a mesoscopic average magnetization m = MV The continuous medium approximation M can be the spontaneous magnetization M within a ferromagnetic domain s A macroscopic average magnetization is the domain average M = MV / V i i i i i M (r) M s The mesoscopic average magnetization Dublin January 2007 3
