Magnetic ordering refers to the arrangement of magnetic moments in a material, which can lead to different magnetic properties. In materials like ferromagnets, the magnetic moments align parallel to each other, resulting in a net magnetic field. In contrast, antiferromagnets have moments that align in opposite directions, canceling each other out. The type of magnetic ordering depends on factors such as temperature and material composition. At high temperatures, thermal energy can disrupt the alignment, leading to a state called paramagnetism, where moments are randomly oriented. Understanding magnetic ordering is crucial for applications in magnetic storage and spintronics.
