noun
ferromagnetism
Physics term for the property of materials like iron that exhibit strong, permanent magnetism.
鉄は強磁性を示す代表的な金属だ。
Iron is a typical metal that exhibits ferromagnetism.
強磁性体は磁石に強く引きつけられる。
Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to magnets.
Antiferromagnetism; a magnetic ordering where adjacent spins point in opposite directions, resulting in no net macroscopic magnetization.
Compound of 強 (strong) + 磁性 (magnetism). The term is a direct calque from English 'ferromagnetism', where 'ferro-' refers to iron (Latin ferrum), the most common ferromagnetic element.
