Question:

What kind of magnetic material is manganese, paramagnetic or antiferromagnetic?

What kind of magnetic material is manganese, paramagnetic or antiferromagnetic?

Answer:

Inside the antiferromagnetic material, the spin of the neighboring valence electrons tends to the opposite direction, and the net magnetic moment of the matter is zero
Will not produce a magnetic field. This substance is not common, most of the anti ferromagnetic material exists only in low temperature condition. If the temperature exceeds the Neel temperature, usually into paramagnetic properties. For example, chromium, manganese, light lanthanides and so on, are anti ferromagnetic.
