Spiral magnetic structure in non-Heisenberg magnets with an easy-axis anisotropy

Abstract

The investigations performed in this work have demonstrated that an easy-axis frustrated non-Heisenberg magnet can contain homogeneous phases with the vector (ferromagnetic) and tensor (nematic) orderings, as well as a spatially inhomogeneous phase of the magnetic spiral type. Depending on the relationships between the material parameters, either a ferromagnetic spiral or a spiral of the quadrupole–ferromagnetic type with different periods of the spiral structures can be formed in the system. The phase diagram of the system has been constructed.
