Domain walls in an antiferromagnetic crystal

Caption

In an antiferromagnetic single crystal, regions with different orientations of the antiferromagnetic order have been created (blue and red regions), separated by a domain wall. Their course can be controlled by structuring the surface. This is the basis for a new storage medium concept.
