Manganese has more unpaired electrons than Iron so why is Iron ferromagnetic Manganese paramagnetic?
Manganese has five unpaired electrons, but Iron has four, then why is Iron ferromagnetic and Manganese paramagnetic?
What's that property I'm missing?

Can relativity explain the magnetic attraction between two parallel electrons or electron beams comoving in a vacuum? (No wires)
How can relativity explain the magnetic attraction of two electrons (or two electron beams) comoving in a vacuum at some certain constant velocity?
It is well known (https://acceleratorinstitute.web....

Anisotropic screened Coulomb interaction for particles in a plasma
Background (isotropic screening): Consider a quasi neutral plasma. An ion/electron in a dense plasma attracts opposite-charged particles and repels
those with the same charge, thereby creating a "...

Landau levels in 2D
I seem to be having a very basic misunderstanding of Landau levels in 2D. Consider the derivation give on page 7 here, where we consider electrons free to move in 2 dimensions, with a magnetic field ...

Is the electron's magnetic dipole moment influenced by the measurement method?
The electric charge of an electron at rest is a constant value and is not influenced by the measurement instrument. The measurement instrument by itself can give more or less accurate result, but does ...

Are the value of the magnetic field of a current carrying coil and the magnetic dipole moments of the involved electrons comparable?
The magentic dipole moment of electrons is a intrinsic property. To get the macroscopic effect of their common magnetic field this moments have to be aligned, like in permanent magnets or in current ...

The magnetic dipole moment of electrons is not conserved?
The electron has a constant value of its magnetic dipole NIST. How then is "Magnetic dipole moments are neither conserved nor quantized" to be understood?
