Magnetic Property Description
Anti-ferromagnetic
Phenomenon
in some magnetically ordered materials in which there is an anti-parallel
alignment of spins in two interpenetrating structures so that there is no
overall bulk spontaneous magnetization.
Ferromagnetic
Strongly attracted to a magnet.
Phenomenon in some magnetically ordered materials in which there is a bulk
magnetic
moment and the magnetization is large.
Magnetic
Noticeably attracted to a magnet.
Magnetic after heating
Attracted to a magnet after heating the
sample.
Moderately Magnetic
Noticeably
attracted to a magnet.
Naturally strong
Strongly
attracted to a magnet.
Naturally weak
Weakly attracted to a magnet.
Nonmagnetic
Not attracted to a magnet.
Paramagnetic
Weakly
attracted to very strong magnetic fields.
Slightly magnetic
Weakly
attracted to a magnet.
Strongly magnetic
Strongly
attracted to a magnet.
Weakly magnetic
Weakly
attracted to a magnet.
Weakly paramagnetic
Weakly
attracted to very strong magnetic fields.
