Extract

This research was undertaken as an endeavour to build up a method of discrimination of magnetic lattices in crystalline substances. Theory, due to Professor Peddie, hereafter referred to and expanded in detail, gives an estimate of the intensity of Magnetisation in a co-directed system of regularly arranged magnetic doublets, such as we may regard a magnetised piece of crystalline substance to be composed of.

When a magnetic field is applied to a crystalline portion of matter it is magnetised, not necessarily in the direction of the field, as would be the case if the substance were purely amorphous, but in general in some direction inclined to that of the magnetising field. This is due to the crystalline quality of the body, and the consequent internal inter-polar magnetic reactions. The saturation intensity of magnetisation in any plane is constant, but its obliquity to the field varies with the orientation of the field in the substance. The external field is assumed to be strong enough to co-direct all the molecular magnets; that is, to produce saturation.
