At low enough temperatures, magnetic systems typically become solid crystals. A renowned phenomenon through which this happens is ferromagnetism, occurring when all elementary moments or spins interact at the atomic scale (i.e., the so-called Heisenberg interaction) and align in one direction. Ferromagnetism underpins the functioning of several everyday objects, including compasses, fridge magnets and hard drives.
