Dynamics of Domain Walls in the Antiferromagnetic Phase of Dysprosium: a Brief Review

Аннотация

A brief analysis of several effects related to dynamics of domain walls in antiferromagnetic dysprosium is given. We review experimental studies and interpretations of thermal hysteresis in a number of physical properties of dysprosium and other rare earths that emerges during thermal cycling of samples, scaling laws of magnetic hysteresis, nonequilibrium state of domain walls and relaxation processes in antiferromagnetic phase of dysprosium.
