Ferrimagnetism is a type of magnetic ordering that occurs in certain materials, where the magnetic moments of atoms or ions align in opposite directions but unequal magnitudes. This results in a net magnetic moment even though the opposing moments partially cancel each other out. In ferrimagnetic materials, typically found in certain types of oxides (like magnetite, Fe3O4), there are two different types of magnetic ions or sublattices with unequal magnetic moments.
