In 1951 Shull showed the magnetic structure of the MnO crystal, which led to the discovery of antiferromagnetism (where the magnetic moments of

some atoms point up and some point down).

Magnetic Diffraction using Laue Method (LADI – ILL)

4% Ga doped FeGe2

This material undergoes a number of trans-itions and below 180K it locks into a non-harmonic spiral phase with a propagation vector of exactly 1/10. This gives rise to additional Bragg-peaks, which are shown in the second picture.
