About Oersteds
The oersted (Oe) equals exactly 1000/(4π) A/m ≈ 79.577 A/m, the CGS unit of magnetic field strength named after Hans Christian Ørsted. Still widely used in permanent magnet characterisation (NdFeB, SmCo, AlNiCo), magnetic recording, and older MRI literature. Earth's surface field is ≈ 0.5 Oe; a typical speaker magnet ≈ 5000 Oe. 1 Oe = 1000/(4π) A/m.
About Megaoersteds
The megaoersted (MOe) equals 10⁹/(4π) A/m ≈ 7.958 × 10⁷ A/m. Encountered in ultra-high-field pulsed magnet research - National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) 100 T pulsed fields correspond to ≈1 MOe; internal crystalline fields at magnetic rare-earth sites in hyperfine studies are of this order. 1 MOe = 10⁹/(4π) A/m.
