1. A material that exhibits ferrimagnetism, in which two or more types of magnetic ions are aligned antiparallel but have unequal magnetic moments, resulting in a net magnetic moment.
Usage: technical; physics; materials science

Examples

• Magnetite is a naturally occurring ferrimagnet composed of iron oxide.
• The ferrimagnet exhibits strong magnetic properties despite its antiparallel spin arrangement.
• Scientists studied the ferrimagnet to understand its behavior at different temperatures.
• Ferrimagnetic materials like ferrites are used in many electronic devices.
• The ferrimagnet's net magnetization arises from the imbalance between opposing magnetic moments.
