  1. ferrimagnetismnoun

    a form of antiferromagnetism in which some magnetization remains below a critical temperature (the Neel temperature)

Wikipedia

  1. Ferrimagnetism

    A ferrimagnetic material is a material that has populations of atoms with opposing magnetic moments, as in antiferromagnetism, but these moments are unequal in magnitude so a spontaneous magnetization remains. This can for example occur when the populations consist of different atoms or ions (such as Fe2+ and Fe3+). Ferrimagnetism has often been confused with ferromagnetism. The oldest known magnetic substance, magnetite (Fe3O4), was classified as a ferromagnet before Louis Néel discovered ferrimagnetism in 1948. Since the discovery, numerous uses have been found for ferrimagnetic materials, such as hard drive platters and biomedical applications.

  1. ferrimagnetism

    Ferrimagnetism is a type of magnetism exhibited by certain materials, where the magnetic moments of atoms or ions within the material align in opposite directions, but the magnitudes of these moments are unequal, resulting in a net spontaneous magnetization. This occurs mainly in ferrimagnetic materials such as some metal oxides. Ferrimagnetism is similar to ferromagnetism but differs in that the individual magnetic moments do not all add up to zero as in antiferromagnetism.

  1. Ferrimagnetism

    In physics, a ferrimagnetic material is one in which the magnetic moments of the atoms on different sublattices are opposed, as in antiferromagnetism; however, in ferrimagnetic materials, the opposing moments are unequal and a spontaneous magnetization remains. This happens when the sublattices consist of different materials or ions. Ferrimagnetism is exhibited by ferrites and magnetic garnets. The oldest known magnetic substance, magnetite, is a ferrimagnet; it was originally classified as a ferromagnet before Néel's discovery of ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism in 1948. Some ferrimagnetic materials are YIG and ferrites composed of iron oxides and other elements such as aluminum, cobalt, nickel, manganese and zinc.
