Application patterns of magnetic fields and effects

1. Non-magnetic substance -> ferromagnetic substances -> permanent magnets -> electromagnets
2. Ferromagnetic substance as monolith, particle, powder, liquid, aerosol
3. Transition through the Curie point -> transition through the Curie point with hysteresis -> Hopkins- effect -> Barkhausen-effect
4. Anti-ferromagnetism; magnetic resonance phenomena
