We present a ferromagnetic material with full spin-polarization, but with zero net moment (a magnetic moment compensation point). The compensation of the magnetic moment stems from the combination of spin-dominated and orbital-dominated lanthanide ions in solid-solutions of the rare-earth mononitrides and is robust over a range of temperatures but limited to a critical composition.
