Observation of spontaneous canting of the spontaneous sublattices in the hexagonal antiferromagnet CsMnF3
Mil'ner A.A., Popkov Yu.A.
It is observed that the ratio of the intensities of certain electrodipole absorption bands in the optical spectrum of CsMnF3 have hexagonal anisotropy along the direction of the external field Η in the basal plane. The results offer evidence of the appearance of a spontaneous canting of the magnetic sublattices if the magnetic moments are oriented along the crystallographic direction [100].
