Domain roughness grows across Mn3NiN phase transition
What the study found Mn3NiN changes from a ferrimagnetic state to a non-collinear antiferromagnetic state with a disordered, dendritic magnetic domain structure. The domain roughness increases on cooling and reaches a fractal dimension of about 1.55 in the non-collinear phase. Why the authors say this matters The authors say that controlling magnetic domain states is…
Wurtzite nitrides show ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism
What the study found The study reports a new multiferroic wurtzite family of Mn(II)-based nitrides that simultaneously shows ferroelectricity, which is switchable electric polarization, and antiferromagnetism, a magnetic order where neighboring spins cancel each other. These compounds crystallize in polar structures and show robust G-type antiferromagnetism at room temperature. Why the authors say this matters…
