CONT

Alors que dans une substance ferromagnétique les moments magnétiques dus au spin des électrons s'orientent tous dans le même sens, dans le cas de l'antiferromagnétisme la moitié de ces moments est orientée dans un sens, et l'autre moitié en sens opposé, et comme ces moments sont de même grandeur, le résultat global est nul.
