in Physics & Chemistry
Every magnetic material is divided into such magnetic domains. Scientists call them 'Weiss domains' after physicist Pierre-Ernest Weiss, who predicted their existence theoretically more than a hundred years ago. In 1907, he recognised that the magnetic moments of atoms within a bounded domain are equally aligned...
