  6. Lagrange Strain Tensor • The strain tensor, ε, is a symmetric tensor used to quantify the strain of an object undergoing a small 3-dimensional deformation: • the diagonal coefficients εii are the relative change in length in the direction of the i direction (along the xi-axis) ; • the other terms εij = 1/2 γij (i ≠ j) are the shear strains, i.e. half the variation of the right angle (assuming a small cube of matter before deformation). • The deformation of an object is defined by a tensor field, i.e., this strain tensor is defined for every point of the object. In case of small deformations, the strain tensor is the Green tensor or Cauchy's infinitesimal strain tensor, defined by the equation: Where u represents the displacement field of the object's configuration (i.e., the difference between the object's configuration and its natural state). This is the 'symmetric part' of the Jacobian matrix. The 'antisymmetric part' is called the small rotation tensor. M.Rotter „Magnetostriction“ Course Lorena 2007

  7. T stress tensor     is defined by: where the dFi are the components of the resultant force vector acting on a small area dA which can be represented by a vector dAj perpendicular to the area element, facing outwards and with length equal to the area of the element. In elementary mechanics, the subscripts are often denoted x,y,z rather than 1,2,3. Stress tensor is symmetric, otherwise the volume element would rotate (to seet this look at zy and yz component in figure) Hookes Law (Voigt) notation 1 = 11, 2 = 22 3 = 33 4 = 23 5 = 31 6 = 12 M.Rotter „Magnetostriction“ Course Lorena 2007

  12. Magnetostriction Magnetostriction is a property of magnetic materials that causes them to change their shape when subjected to a magnetic field. The effect was first identified in 1842 by James Joule when observing a sample of nickel. James Prescott Joule, (1818 – 1889) M.Rotter „Magnetostriction“ Course Lorena 2007

  30. Free Electrons in a Magnetic Field Pauli Paramagnetism Spin - Magnetization for small fields B (T=0) Magnetic Spin - Susceptibility (Pauli Paramagnetism) Pauli paramagnetism is a weak effect compared to paramagnetism in insulators (in insulators one electron at each ion contributes, in metals only the electrons at the Fermi level contribute). The small size of the paramagnetic susceptibility of most metals was a puzzle until Pauli pointed out that is was a consequence of the fact that electrons obey Fermi Dirac rather than classical statistics. W. Pauli Nobel Price 1945 M.Rotter „Magnetostriction“ Course Lorena 2007

  31. Direct Exchange between delocalized Electrons Spontaneously Split bands: e.g. Fe M=2.2μB/f.u. is non integer .... this is strong evidence for band ferromagnetism Mean field Model: all spins feel the same exchange field λM produced by all their neighbors, this exchange field can magnetize the electron gas spontaneously via the Pauli Paramagnetism, if λ and χP are large anough.

  33.
