Elastic Domains in Antiferromagnets on Substrates
Efim A. Brener, В. И. Марченко · Physical Review Letters · 2006
We consider periodic domain structures which appear due to the magnetoelastic interaction if the antiferromagnetic crystal is attached to an elastic substrate. The peculiar behavior of such structures in an external magnetic field is discussed. In particular, we find the magnetic field dependence of the equilibrium period and the concentrations of different domains.
