Antiferromagnetism

Definition:

Antiferromagnetism refers to a type of magnetism in which adjacent atomic spins orient in opposite directions, resulting in zero net magnetization. This phenomenon occurs below the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature.

Example Sentences:

  • 1. The antiferromagnetism exhibited by certain materials makes them useful for applications in memory devices.
  • 2. Antiferromagnetism plays a crucial role in understanding the magnetic interactions of certain minerals.
  • 3. Below a certain critical temperature, antiferromagnetism arises due to the alignment of spins pointing in opposite directions.
