Dynamics of the intermediate state and domain walls in an external oscillating magnetic field

We study the dynamics of 90-degree domain walls in the intermediate state of antiferromagnets, the state being realized in a first-order spin-flop transition in an external magnetic field. We show that an additional oscillating external magnetic field leads to a drift in the domain walls and find the dependence of the drift velocity on the amplitude, frequency, and polarization of the oscillating field. Finally, we discuss the possibility of the domain structure drifting as a whole. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 112, 1374–1385 (October 1997)
