Noun
antiferromagnetism
Definition: magnetic field creates parallel but opposing spins; varies with temperature
Definition: a phenomenon, similar to ferromagnetism, in which magnetic domains line up in a regular pattern, but with neighbouring electron spins pointing in opposite directions; materials showing this effect are either ferrimagnetic or diamagnetic, and become paramagnetic above the Neel temperature
