PART IVSUPERCONDUCTIVITYAntiferromagnetismIron, cobalt, and nickel are ferromagnetic and their spins are ordered in a manner consistent to a negative polarity as seen in the Circular Model of the Atom. (see figure 3 spin states) With the above elements spin states compatible with negative polarity, what then happens to the elements at the positive pole? First, we find a sign change consistent with positive polarity that results in the alternating ordering system found in the copper oxides, and net magnetization is gone. If the d8, d9, and d10 states of copper are taken, then the polarity change is between d8 and d9 states. This has the effect of copper (I) and copper (II) being antiferromagnetic in nature. With copper in the (II) state it is on a different shell level that is attempting to compensate, with either more oxygen or distorted copper bonds to withdraw back to copper (I) state. |
