Ferrimagnetic interaction A ferrimagnetic interaction is a specific type of antiferromagnetic interaction in which the net spin of the system is not equal to zero due to the spin in each direction not being equal, and therefore not cancelling. A classic example is a dodecanuclear Manganese molecule with an effective spin of S = 10 derived from antiferromagnetic interaction on Mn(IV) metal centres with Mn(III) and Mn(II) metal centres.
Ferrimagnetism In physics, a ferrimagnetic material is one in which the magnetic moment of the atoms on different sublattices are opposed, as in antiferromagnetism; however, in ferrimagnetic materials, the opposing moments are unequal and a spontaneous magnetization remains. This happens when the sublattices consist of different materials or ions (such as Fe2+ and Fe3+).

Fertile materials that occur naturally which can be converted into a fissile material by irradiation in a reactor include: thorium-232 which can be converted into fissionable uranium-233, uranium-234 which is converted into uranium-235 and uranium-238 which can be converted into fissionable plutonium-239.

The rule itself, simply stated, makes a future interest in property void unless it can be logically proven that the interest must either vest or fail to vest within 21 years after the end of a life in being at the time the interest is created.
Fertilisation Fertilisation or fertilization (also known as conception, fecundation and syngamy), is fusion of gametes to form a new organism of the same species. In animals, the process involves a sperm fusing with an ovum, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo.
Fertility Fertility is the ability of people or animals to produce healthy offspring in abundance, and of the earth to bear fruit. In the English language, the term was originally applied only to females, but increasingly is applied to males as well, as common understanding of reproductive mechanisms increases and the importance of the male role is better known.
Fertility awareness Fertility Awareness (FA) is the practice of observing one or more of a woman’s primary fertility signs to determine the fertile and infertile phases of her menstrual cycle. Depending on their goals, couples may choose to time unprotected sexual intercourse so that it falls during the fertile phase (to achieve pregnancy) or the infertile phase (to avoid pregnancy).

Clinics apply a number of tests and sometimes very advanced medical procedures to obtain the desired conceptions and pregnancies.

Fertility goddess The fertility goddesses are the female deities to watch over and promote fertility, pregnancy, and birth in many polytheistic cultures. In some cases these deities were directly associated with sex, and in others they simply embodied related attributes.
Fertility rite Fertility rites are religious rituals that reenact, either actually or symbolically, sexual acts and/or reproductive processes. As with the sacrifices of humans which many scholars think that ancient peoples made to ensure good fortune (be that as to harvests or hunting or warfare or other endeavors), fertility rites are a variety of sympathetic magic in which the forces of nature are to be influenced by the example acted out in the ritual.

Feshbach resonance In quantum mechanics, a Feshbach resonance, named after Herman Feshbach, in contrast to a shape resonance, is a resonance of a system with more than one degree of freedom, which would turn into a bound state if the coupling between some degrees of freedom and the degrees of freedom associated to the fragmentation (reaction coordinates) were set to zero.
Feshbach–Fano partitioning In quantum mechanics, and in particular in scattering theory, the Feshbach–Fano method, named after Herman Feshbach and Ugo Fano, separates (partitions) the resonant and the background components of the wave function and therefore of the associated quantities like cross sections or phase shift. This approach allows us to define rigorously the concept of resonance in quantum mechanics.
