    Enumeration Members

    ANTIFERROMAGNETIC: "antiferromagnetic"

    Adjacent magnetic moments point in opposite directions, resulting in no net magnetization.

    DIAMAGNETIC: "diamagnetic"

    Repelled by a magnetic field; atoms have no permanent net magnetic moment.

    FERRIMAGNETIC: "ferrimagnetic"

    Opposing magnetic moments are unequal, leading to a net spontaneous magnetization.

    FERROMAGNETIC: "ferromagnetic"

    Strong attraction with spontaneous magnetization below a Curie temperature.

    PARAMAGNETIC: "paramagnetic"

    Weakly attracted by a magnetic field; magnetic moments align only while field is present.

    SUPERPARAMAGNETIC: "superparamagnetic"

    Occurs in small ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic nanoparticles with single-domain behavior.
