Abstract

The dynamics of 90-degree interphase domain walls during a first-order Morin-type spin-reorientation phase transition is studied theoretically. It is shown that an oscillatory motion of the walls with an amplitude that depends linearly on the field amplitude, as well as a drift motion of the wall at a velocity proportional to the square of the field amplitude, are driven by an external oscillating magnetic field. Drift of the entire domain structure as a whole is predicted to be possible.
