Antiferromagnetic (AF) domain walls have recently attracted revived attention, not only in the emerging field of AF spintronics, but also more specifically for offering fast domain wall velocities and dynamic excitations up to the terahertz…
We report on the formation of topological defects emerging from the cycloidal antiferromagnetic order at the surface of bulk BiFeO$_3$ crystals. Combining reciprocal and real-space magnetic imaging techniques, we first observe, in a single…
Chemically ordered B2 FeRh exhibits a remarkable antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition that is first order. It thus shows phase coexistence, usually by proceeding though nucleation at random defect sites followed by propagation…
The newly discovered altermagnets are unconventional collinear compensated magnetic systems, exhibiting even (d, g, or i-wave) spin-polarization order in the band structure, setting them apart from conventional collinear ferromagnets and…
We theoretically investigate emergent impedance induced by domain-wall dynamics in antiferromagnets. Emergent impedance, arising from a combined action of spin-transfer torque and spinmotive force, was previously predicted and observed in…
The recent development of phase-grating moir\'e neutron interferometry promises a wide range of impactful experiments from dark-field imaging of material microstructure to precise measurements of fundamental constants. However, the contrast…
Ferroic materials (ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, ferroelastic) usually divide into domains with different orientations of their order parameter. Coupling different ferroic systems creates new functionalities, for instance the electrical…
Antiferromagnetism of ultracold fermions in an optical lattice can be detected by Bragg diffraction of light, in analogy to the diffraction of neutrons from solid state materials. A finite sublattice magnetization will lead to a Bragg peak…

Antiferromagnetic materials, which have drawn considerable attention recently, have fascinating features: they are robust against perturbation, produce no stray fields, and exhibit ultrafast dynamics. Discerning how to efficiently…
Polarization in ferroelectric domains arises from atomic-scale structural variations that govern macroscopic functionalities. The interfaces between these domains known as domain walls host distinct physical responses, making their…
Twinning is a common crystallographic phenomenon, which usually occurs in crystals during symmetry-lowering phase transition. Once formed, twin domains play an important role in defining physical properties: for example, twin domains…
