Abstract

In the previous chapters, the origins of spontaneous magnetism for parallel (ferromagnetism) and antiparallel spin alignments (antiferromagnetism) have been reviewed. In their pristine forms, the former occurs through direct exchange in metals and alloys, and the latter in nonmetallic ionic compounds comprising oxygen or other elements from the right-hand side of the Periodic table as the anion lattice. Utilitarian applications of ferromagnets are self-evident to even the most casual observer of physical phenomena, but the situation is much less so in the case of antiferromagnetism. For the most part, antiferromagnetism has been a portal to fundamental research in materials, particularly involving the diagnostic methods of neutron and more recently, muon diffraction and scattering.

There are, however, select groups of transition-metal oxides that combine the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic metals with the electrically insulating characteristics of the antiferromagnetic compounds described in the previous section. These magnetic insulators are termed ferrimagnets, and the phenomenon that characterizes their magnetic properties is called ferrimagnetism. Ferrimagnetic oxides have also served as rich sources of knowledge about the fundamental physics of materials, but unlike the antiferromagnetic oxides, they continue to add to their already widespread uses in modern electronics technology. For these reasons, the properties of ferrites, as they are commonly designated, will be treated generously for the remainder of this book.
