Rare Earth Magnet Basics / Glossary of Magnet Terms / Nanocomposite magnets
- Nanocomposite magnets
- Magnets that have fine hard magnetic phases and soft magnetic phases, in which exchange bonding operation works between the phases and which behaves like one single-phase magnet. These magnets are called nanocomposite magnets because the size of the structure is on the nanometer (10-9m) order. From this magnetic characteristic, they are also called exchange spring magnets. (See the item on exchange spring magnets.)
