Spin-flop transitions in itinerant metamagnets
Zvezdin A. K.
A study is made of phase transitions induced by a magnetic field in itinerant ferrimagnets of f~d compounds in which the d sublattice is unstable, i.e., undergoes a metamagnetic phase transition. In particular, a first-order phase transition of a new type is predicted. It is a transition from a weak ferrimagnetic state directly into an angular structure, without the stage of a collinear ferrimagnetic structure.
