Magnetic material

Magnetic material - a term used mostly to refer to materials, which are ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic. Either of the two can also exhibit properties which are magnetically soft, hard, or semihard.

However, in general all materials are "magnetic" but they respond in various ways to magnetic field, depending on their atomic structure and ambient conditions.

There are several ways in which materials can respond, and these different types of response are described by various magnetisms:
 * ferromagnetism
 * ferrimagnetism
 * antiferromagnetism
 * paramagnetism
 * diamagnetism
 * superparamagnetism
 * helimagnetism
 * spin glass
 * metamagnetism
 * sperimagnetism
 * micromagnetism
 * frustrated magnetism
