    ANTIFERROMAGNETIC: "antiferromagnetic"

    Adjacent magnetic moments point in opposite directions, resulting in zero net magnetization.

    DIAMAGNETIC: "diamagnetic"

    Intrinsic property of materials to create an opposing magnetic field, causing repulsion.

    FERRIMAGNETIC: "ferrimagnetic"

    Opposing moments of unequal magnitude, resulting in a net spontaneous magnetization.

    FERROMAGNETIC: "ferromagnetic"

    Parallel alignment of moments, resulting in strong spontaneous magnetization (e.g., Iron).

    PARAMAGNETIC: "paramagnetic"

    Moments align only in the presence of an external magnetic field, showing weak attraction.

    SUPERPARAMAGNETIC: "superparamagnetic"

    Small ferromagnetic particles showing paramagnetic-like behavior due to thermal fluctuations.
