In this work, we present a micromagnetic formulation for modeling the magnetization dynamics and thermal equilibrium in ferrimagnetic materials at low and elevated temperatures. The formulation is based on a mean-field approximation (MFA). In this formulation, the ferrimagnet is described micromagnetically by two coupled sublattices with corresponding interactions, including inter- and intrasublattice micromagnetic exchange as well as four-spin interactions described as an intersublattice molecular field with a cubic dependence of the magnetization. The MFA is used to derive a Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch type equation for ferrimagnetic material, including cases with a ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic phase transitions. For validation, the results obtained via the presented model are compared with recent experimental data for phase transitions in FeRh.
