Magnetic Anisotropy: Stress-induced Effects

This lecture covers stress-induced anisotropy in magnetic materials, where the inverse Joule effect leads to a change in the easy-axis direction under stress. The tetragonal distortion caused by stress alters the magnetocrystalline anisotropy, affecting the domain formation process. The lecture also discusses the impact of stress on domain formation and the magnetization of materials, highlighting the challenges in magnetizing materials under specific stress conditions.
