Metamagnetic texture in a polar antiferromagnet — •Dmitry A. Sokolov1, Ulrich Rößler2, Naoki Kikugawa3, Robert Cubitt4, Andrew P.

We report a new type of mixed state between antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetism, which can be created in certain acentric materials. In the Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) experiments we observe a field-driven spin-state in the layered antiferromagnet Ca3Ru2O7, which is modulated on a scale between 8 and 20 nm and has both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic parts [1]. We call this state a metamagnetic texture and explain its appearance by the chiral twisting effects of the asymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) exchange. The observation can be understood as an extraordinary coexistence, in one thermodynamic state, of spin-orders belonging to different symmetries.
