 An electron moving through a lattice of positively charged ions experiences an electrical attraction, which causes a slight distortion of the lattice.As a bell continues to ring after having been struck, so the lattice’s distortion may persist for a short while after the electron has passed. A second electron coming through finds a distorted lattice, and interacts with it. If the timing, speed, and spinning motions are right, the two interactions with the lattice cause the electrons to attract one another magnetically.They act cooperatively,​ like a single particle where the two spins, or individual magnetism, of the constituent electrons have canceled out. An electron moving through a lattice of positively charged ions experiences an electrical attraction, which causes a slight distortion of the lattice.As a bell continues to ring after having been struck, so the lattice’s distortion may persist for a short while after the electron has passed.
