Abstract

It is hard to underestimate the importance of magnetic anisotropy. Without this property we would not be able to generate electricity efficiently or use electricity to do work. The basic premise of an electro-motor is that the currents in a coil generate a magnetic moment that pushes against an external magnetic field. Without magnetic anisotropy this force would simply result in a change in direction of the external field, and no rotation of the coil would occur. The shape of the yoke, however, fixes the direction of the external field due to magnetic anisotropy.
