Equilibrium magnetization refers to the state when the net magnetic moment of a material reaches a stable condition under a given external magnetic field, with no net change over time. This state is crucial for understanding magnetic properties and behaviors in various materials, including ferromagnets, paramagnets, and diamagnets.

An external magnetic field is a magnetic field that is applied to a system from an outside source, influencing the magnetic properties and behavior of materials within the field. This can affect phenomena such as magnetic resonance, magnetization, and electromagnetic induction, playing a critical role in various scientific and industrial applications.

Magnetic properties refer to the behavior of materials in response to magnetic fields, which is determined by the alignment of atomic magnetic moments. These properties are crucial in applications ranging from data storage to medical imaging, and they vary widely among materials, leading to classifications such as ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic.
