Barium ferrite ferrite has better packing properties. BaFe can be reduced to a smaller size and higher packing density because of its circular structure and can be stacked better. Barium ferrite Barium ferrite, abbreviated BaFe, BaM, is the chemical compound with the formula BaFeO. This and related ferrite materials are components in magnetic stripe cards and loudspeaker magnets. BaFe is described as Ba(Fe)(O). The Fe centers are ferromagnetically coupled. This area of technology is usually considered to be an application of the related fields of materials science and solid state chemistry. Barium ferrite is a highly magnetic material, has a high packing
Sterling silver Netherlands, the Baltic, Germany, and even deeper regions of central Europe." The sterling alloy originated in continental Europe and was being used for commerce as early as the 12th century in the area that is now northern Germany. In England the composition of sterling silver was subject to official assay at some date before 1158, during the reign of Henry II, but its purity was probably regulated from centuries earlier, in Saxon times. A piece of sterling silver dating from Henry II's reign was used as a standard in the Trial of the Pyx until it was deposited at the
