Abstract
For the frustrated triangular lattice of Ising magnetic moments with an antiferromagnetic interaction, which is in a state with two sublattices, a new type of topological defects with zero energy in the approximation of the interaction between only the nearest-neighbors has been found. These defects have a nonzero magnetic moment, and the magnetization in a low field occurs via the formation of a system of such defects. These properties are valid for a 2D superstructure in the form of a triangular lattice of single-domain magnetic particles with perpendicular anisotropy and dipole coupling.
