摘要
The magnetic phase diagram of the Y-type hexaferrite Ba2Mg2Fe12O22 has been studied using single-crystal neutron diffraction. The result indicates successive phase transitions where the magnetic modulation wave number changed discontinuously when a magnetic field is applied and the temperature is varied. For the low-temperature spin-driven ferroelectric state, we have found a sixfold structure with q=(0 0 1/2) in weak magnetic fields and a twofold structure with q=(0 0 3/2) in strong magnetic fields between which a first-order transition intervenes accompanied by a hysteresis.
