1. of or relating to a material that exhibits ferrimagnetism, in which magnetic moments of different atoms or sublattices are aligned antiparallel but unequal in magnitude, resulting in a net magnetic moment.
Usage: technical; physics

Examples

• Ferrimagnetic materials are commonly used in transformer cores and magnetic recording media.
• Iron oxide exhibits ferrimagnetic properties at room temperature.
• The ferrimagnetic behavior of the compound was confirmed through magnetization measurements.
• Ferrimagnetic materials can be magnetized and retain their magnetism, making them useful in electronics.
• Scientists studied the ferrimagnetic structure of the newly synthesized compound.
