2. 
   ferrimagnetism
   a phenomenon by which, in the absence of an applied magnetic field, the magnetic moments of neighbouring atoms or ions are held by their interaction in a partially cancelling arrangement such that there remains a resultant magnetic moment; when an external magnetic field is applied, the alignment of the magnetic moments in its direction increases Category: Physics

   Ferrimagnetism
   In physics, a `ferrimagnetic` material is one in which the magnetic moment of the atoms on different sublattices are opposed, as in antiferromagnetism; however, in ferrimagnetic materials, the opposing moments are unequal and a spontaneous magnetization remains. This happens when the sublattices consist of different materials or ions (such as Fe2+ and Fe3+). Ferrimagnetic materials are like ferromagnets in that they hold a spontaneous magnetizat...

   phenomenon in which, in the absence of an applied magnetic field, the magnetic area moments of neighbouring atoms or ions in a substance are held by their interactions in a partially cancelling arrangement such that there remains a resultant magnetic area moment and in which, when a magnetic field is applied, the alignment of the magnetic area mome...
