2. ANTIFERROMAGNETIC MATERIALS
Magnetic moments of atoms
Its theory developed by Neel
Susceptibility as a function of temperature
Antiferromagnetic materials are only of
scientific interest
Relation of susceptibility with temperature of
an antiferromagntic material
χ m = C / (T – (– θ) ) 2
3. θ has negative value
The lattice magnetic ions breaks up into two sublattices
Two interpenetrating and identical sublattices of magnetic ions
