Noun
antiferromagnet (plural antiferromagnets)
(physics) An antiferromagnetic material
An antiferromagnet has two networks of equal and opposite magnetic moments, which cancel each other out so that the net magnetization is zero. Source: Internet
Antiferromagnetism Antiferromagnetic ordering main In an antiferromagnet, unlike a ferromagnet, there is a tendency for the intrinsic magnetic moments of neighboring valence electrons to point in opposite directions. Source: Internet
In some solids the magnetic moments on different atoms are ordered and can form a ferromagnet, an antiferromagnet or a ferrimagnet. Source: Internet
