Louis Néel contributed to the understanding of what kind of magnetic order?

  • Unipolar

  • Bipolar

  • Antiferromagnetic

  • Multipolar

Answer

Antiferromagnetic order refers to the arrangement of magnetic moments in a material where adjacent moments are aligned in opposite directions. This contrasts with ferromagnetic order, where adjacent moments are aligned in the same direction. Antiferromagnetism is a result of strong exchange interactions between neighboring atoms and is observed in various materials, including transition metal oxides and some alloys.
