Iron has a magnetic moment of 2.22 Bohr
magnetons per atom and a density of
7.87-103 kg.m-3. Calculate the expected
magnetization of iron at 0 K and describe any
assumptions that you have made. How would
you expect this magnetization of iron to vary
as temperature is increased. How does the
number of Bohr magnetons per atom change
from 0 K to 300 K. Why does a piece of iron
typically not exhibit high magnetization at
room temperature (unless it has been
"magnetized")?
I am struggling with getting this question done and need some help solving it, explain and make sure the answer is 100% correct.
When a fast electron (i.e., one moving at a relativistic speed) passes by a heavy atom, it interacts with the atom's electric field. As a result, the electron's kinetic energy is reduced; the electron slows down. In the meantime, a photon of light is emitted. The kinetic energy lost by the electron equals the energy E� of a photon of radiated light:
Eγ=K−K′��=�−�′,
where K� and K′�′ are the kinetic energies of the electron before and after radiation, respectively.
This kind of radiation is called bremsstrahlung radiation, which in German means "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation." The highest energy of a radiated photon corresponds to the moment when the electron is completely stopped.
