Ferromagnetism is a phenomenon by which a material can exhibit a spontaneous magnetization, and is one of the strongest forms of magnetism.
Ferromagnetic metal alloys whose constituents are not themselves ferromagnetic in their pure forms are called Heusler alloys, named after Fritz Heusler (1903).
In 2004, it was reported that a certain allotrope of carbon, nanofoam, exhibited ferromagnetism.

 Ferromagnetism
Ferromagnetic materials exhibit a long-range ordering phenomenon at the atomic level which causes the unpaired electron spins to line up parallel with each other in a region called a domain.
Ferromagnetism manifests itself in the fact that a small externally imposed magnetic field, say from a solenoid, can cause the magnetic domains to line up with each other and the material is said to be magnetized.
When ferromagnetic materials are used in applications like an iron-core solenoid, the relative permeability gives you an idea of the kind of multiplication of the applied magnetic field that can be achieved by having the ferromagnetic core present.

 Theory
However, due to the ferromagnetic exchange interaction, there is a difference between the number of spin up and spin down electrons in the conduction sub-bands of ferromagnetic materials.
Therefore, the probability of an electron being scattered when it passes into a ferromagnetic conductor depends upon the direction of its spin and the direction of the magnetic moment of the layer.
The resistance of two thin ferromagnetic layers separated by a thin non-magnetic conducting layer can be altered by changing whether the moments of the ferromagnetic layers are parallel or antiparallel.

Historically, the term "ferromagnet" was used for any material that could exhibit spontaneous magnetization: a net magnetic moment in the absence of an external magnetic field.
More recently, however, different classes of spontaneous magnetization have been identified when there is more than one magnetic ion per primitive cell of the material, leading to a stricter definition of "ferromagnetism" that is often used to distinguish it from ferrimagnetism.
Ferromagnetic metal alloys whose constituents are not themselves ferromagnetic in their pure forms are called Heusler alloys, named after Fritz Heusler.

Ferromagnetism and the Curie temperature were explained by Weiss in terms of a huge internal field, the Ômolecular fieldÕ proportional to the magnetization.
The origin of the internal field Hi is the exchange interaction, which reflects the electrostatic Coulomb repulsion of electrons on neighbouring atoms and the Pauli principle, which forbids two electrons from entering the same quantum state.
The principal exchange mechanism in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic metals involves direct overlap of the partly-localized atomic orbitals of adjacent atoms.

The interaction of free carriers with localized spins plays an important role in a variety of magnetic and many-body phenomena in metals.
One of the open questions is the nature of the carriers mediating the exchange interaction between Mn ions, i.e., whether they reside in the impurity band (d-like), the delocalized valence bands (p-like), or some type of mixed states.
CR is a direct and accurate method for determining the effective masses of carriers (i.e., the curvature of the energy dispersion) and therefore the nature of the carrier states.

If the ferromagnetic phase forms the domain wall structures, the p-wave superconducting phase coherence is established in each domain and the anisotropic superconducting domains are coupled by the Josephson coupling.
Presumably, the strong electron-phonon interaction and the ferromagnetic interaction lead to the p-wave superconducting condensation in manganese oxides.
The apparent finite resistivity may be caused by the domain wall structures of the ferromagnetic phase, the coexisting minority spin electrons, the canted phase, and the possible existence of the FM and AF microdomains.

 \"Linear anisotropy\" of magnetic susceptibility? - Advanced Physics Forums
Ferromagnetic exchange interaction exists between atoms X. Atoms X have a spin-orbit coupling.
If you add that the spin of atoms X couples (interaction energy) with the orbitals of the atoms X, then you see immediately that there should be a preferential direction AND orientation for the spin of atom X in term of energy.
My argument was that, while the exchange interaction remains unchanged, the spin-orbit interaction has changed: because the orbitals are not symetric for that mirror transformation.

Furthermore, in spin valves composed from one ferromagnetic and one FEM layer, one of the layers would no longer need to be pinned if electric writing and magnetic reading were used.
The authors demonstrate this principle for ferromagnetic cobalt nanoparticles of about 4 nm in diameter that are embedded in either a paramagnetic or an antiferromagnetic matrix.

We first discuss the ferromagnetic Heisenberg model at $T=0$ and finally extend our analysis to general spin hamiltonians for the same class of ferromagnetic ground states.
Since magnetism is a purely quantum mechanical effect of interacting spin systems we clearly have to formulate a quantum mechanical model \cite{spitzer96}.
We use the general ferromagnetic Heisenberg-Kac hamiltonian, which is motivated by the mean-field structure of (\ref{l2}).

 High-Spin Building Blocks for Molecule-Based Magnets with Ferromagnetic Interaction based on Double Exchange
In order to build a new class of molecular based magnets, molecular building blocks (synthons) which allow for strong ferromagnetic interactions between their paramagnetic centers are needed.
This research project is based on the concept of double exchange which is known to propagate strong ferromagnetic interactions in mixed valence systems.
The possibility of a switching behaviour of the magnetic and electrical properties is given by the metal-to-metal charge transfer absorption which corresponds to an excitation into a localized electronic state without ferromagnetic interactions and electrical conductivity.

 Magnetic interactions and the co-operative Jahn-Teller effect in KCuF3
Because of the small overlap in the orbitally-ordered plane, the difference in kinetic energy between the AF2 and ferromagnetic phases is relatively small, and the dominant contribution to the energy difference is the additional electron-nuclear attraction in the ferromagnetic phase.
In the ferromagnetic state, the contraction of majority (alpha) spin density on the F1 fluorine ion (centre left and centre right of the figure) is very large relative to that of the beta spin density.
For antiferromagnetic superexchange contacts, the lowering of kinetic energy is the dominant contribution, while in the equivalent ferromagnetic interaction in orbitally-ordered planes, the electron-nuclear repulsion predominates.

Note that the spontaneous magnetization and the ferromagnetic Curie temperature increased with increasing hole concentration.
Hence the weakly localized hole gives rise to the long-range ferromagnetic interaction between Mn ions although the complete localization of holes disturbs the ferromagnetism.
In a magnetic field large enough to align the spontaneous magnetization in the direction of the applied field the measured resistance should oscillate simultaneously with a period of twice angle between the current direction and the magnetization as the field rotated.

 Session V18 - Semiconductors VIII: Magnetic Properties and Magnetic Semiconductors.
We study the interaction between coherently-precessing electron spins and localized moments in semiconductors using pump-probe optical spectroscopy.(J.M. Kikkawa and D.D. Awschalom, Science (2000).) The frequency of electron Larmor precession obtained in measurements of time-resolved Faraday rotation serves as a magnetometer of the effective magnetic field experienced by electrons in n-type GaAs.
Our theory is based on a picture in which the ferromagnetism is due to long-range interactions between Mn spins mediated by spin-polarized itinerant holes which interact antiferromagnetically with the localized spins.
When subband mixing due to exchange interactions between localized magnetic moments and itinerant electrons is neglected, the dependence of the critical temperature and spontaneous magnetization on magnetic impurity concentration, exchange coupling, and the geometry of the system can be obtained analytically.

One is by increasing the carrier concentration by putting the magnetic atoms at the interface between two wurtzite semiconductors, where a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) forms because of the spontaneous polarization difference between the two crystals.
The increased carrier concentration strengthens the ferromagnetic interaction between the Mn moments.
The effect will be illustrated by examining a model Hamiltonian that includes the kinetic energy and the Coulomb interaction terms and the coupling of the carriers to light.

 Ferromagnetic semiconductor heterostructures
This coupling gives rise to strong indirect exchange interactions between the localized moments as well as to giant spin-splittings of the electronic states, which is proportional to magneisation of the spins.
Because of the large density of states and spin-dependent hybridisation between anion p and magnetic d states, the carrier-mediated spi-spin interaction is particularly strong in the presence of the holes in tetrahedrally coordinated DMS.
Since ferromagnetic DMS combine intricate properties of charge-transfer insulators nd strongly correlated disordered metals with the physics of defect and band states in heavily doped semiconductors, despite important advances in theoretical understanding of these systems, their description from first principles may take some time.

Due to random distribution of manganese in a Ag(Mn) alloy, competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interaction appears, yielding magnetic frustration and the appearance of a spin glass phase at low temperature.
For an optimum doping x, a ferromagnetic order is established, and large changes of their electrical resistance with an applied magnetic field are observed; a magnetoresistance which can be tailored by adding oriented grain boundaries in thin films of these materials.
The Manganese appears in the system as Mn and Mn, and both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interaction is mediated by the charge carriers along the Mn-O-Mn bonds of the perovskite structure.

We have recently suggested that a vibrationally induced modification of the spin-orbit interaction may be an important interaction.
This suggests a competition between two interactions: a weak antiferromagnetic interaction due to superexchange, and a ferromagnetic interaction due to an indirect exchange mechanism mediated by free carriers.
To help understand the origins of ferromagnetism in this material, we used density-functional theory to compute the effective coupling strength between Mn spins as a function of their separation (see "Further Reading" below).

In the ferromagnetic case, the 'contraction' of the up-spin density on the bridging fluorine is very large compared to that of the down-spin density.
The 'closer average confinement' of up-spin electrons on the F ion means that the kinetic energy is much larger in the ferromagnetic case.
