Anisotrope

Magnetization with preferred direction

The most common permanent magnets are anisotropic, i.e. the magnet has a preferred direction of magnetic orientation and can only be magnetized along one axis. It is possible, however, to reverse the polarity of the magnet, which exchanges its north and south pole. Anti-isotropic magnets have a higher holding power than isotropic magnets.
