Abstract

A new mechanism is proposed for forming an incommensurate magnetic structure of the transverse helix type owing to the removal of frustration through intersubsystem exchange in a two-subsystem antiferromagnet. The symmetry analysis of the distribution of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and comparison with the experimental data on the field dependence of magnetization indicate that antisymmetric exchange and competition between symmetric exchanges cannot be responsible for forming a helical magnetic structure in CuB2O4.
