Ferromagnetism (along with the similar effect ferrimagnetism) is the strongest type and is responsible for the common phenomenon of magnetism in magnets encountered in everyday life. Ferromagnetism is only possible when atoms are arranged in a lattice and the atomic magnetic moments can interact to align parallel to each other. where N is the number of magnetic atoms in the specimen, A is the molecular field constant (A > 0), and J s0 is the saturation magnetization at a temperature of absolute zero.
