Some specific properties of antiferromagnetically ordered crystals, such as the antiferromagnetic photovoltaic effect, interaction of spin waves with polar optical phonons, and the effect of this interaction on the structural phase transitions and magnetic transitions into incommensurate structures, have been considered based on the group-theoretical approach.
