" There are three noteworthy elements in the transition metals family. These elements are iron, cobalt, and nickel, and they are the only elements known to produce a magnetic field. "
The site gives the information above, which makes me wonder how various ceramics, such as Higa's EMX ceramics, produce magnetic fields, which they evidently do. Solar mentioned something about this to me previously. Does anyone know offhand whether ceramics typically contain one of the transition elements above? BTW I read somewhere recently the amazing claim that most magentic ores are actually made up of dead bacteria; magnetic ores are actually sort of like fossilized creatures. IAW, magnetism as contained in magnets is originally a biological phenomenon. I do not have the article handy; sorry. Fascinating if true, and probably pertinent to the EMX ceramics, the process of manufafacturing these involves steeping clay in various microorganisms before firing, if I have the details right. . .
