Magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) is a key parameter governing the magnetization behavior of magnetic materials such as zinc ferrite. It arises from the preferred orientation of the magnetic moments within the crystal lattice. The MAE of zinc ferrite is influenced by various factors, including the crystal structure, magnetic ion distribution, and exchange interactions between the ions. Understanding the MAE is crucial for optimizing the magnetic properties of zinc ferrite for applications such as permanent magnets, magnetic sensors, and microwave devices.
