Antiferromagnetism

Antiferromagnetic ordering
Magnetic orders : comparison between ferro, antiferro and ferrimagnetism

In materials that exhibit antiferromagnetism, the magnetic moments of atoms or molecules, usually related to the spins of electrons, align in a regular pattern with neighboring spins (on different sublattices) pointing in opposite directions. This is, like ferromagnetism and ferrimagnetism, a manifestation of ordered magnetism. The phenomenon of antiferromagnetism was first introduced by Lev Landau in 1933.[1]

Generally, antiferromagnetic order may exist at sufficiently low temperatures, but vanishes at and above the Néel temperature – named after Louis Néel, who had first in the West identified this type of magnetic ordering.[2] Above the Néel temperature, the material is typically paramagnetic.
