Magnetic symmetry of the plain domain walls in ferro- and ferrimagnets

TL;DR

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive symmetry classification of domain walls in ferro- and ferrimagnets, including degeneracy analysis and application to specific crystal classes.

Findings

Classified magnetic symmetry groups of domain walls.

Identified degeneracy conditions for domain walls.

Applied classification to hexoctahedral crystal class.

Abstract

Magnetic symmetry of all possible plane domain walls in ferro- and ferrimagnets is considered. Magnetic symmetry classes of non 180 degree (including 0 degree) domain walls are obtained. The domain walls degeneracy is investigated. The symmetry classification is applied for research of all possible plane domain walls in crystals of the hexoctahedral crystallographic class.
