Electron vs Antiferromagnetism - What's the difference?

electron | antiferromagnetism |

As nouns the difference between electron and antiferromagnetism

is that electron is (particle) the subatomic particle having a negative charge and orbiting the nucleus; the flow of electrons in a conductor constitutes electricity while antiferromagnetism is (physics) a phenomenon, similar to ferromagnetism, in which magnetic domains line up in a regular pattern, but with neighbouring electron spins pointing in opposite directions; materials showing this effect are either ferrimagnetic or diamagnetic, and become paramagnetic above the neel temperature.
