Easy axis

Easy axis

In materials science, the easy axis refers to the energetically favorable direction of the spontaneous magnetization in a ferromagnetic material. This axis is determined by various factors, including the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and the shape anisotropy. The two opposite directions along the easy axis are usually equivalent, and the actual direction of the magnetization can be either of them (see spontaneous symmetry breaking).
