Abstract

The possible mechanisms of the thermodynamic stabilization of an intermediate state in the first-order metamagnetic phase transition in a magnetic field parallel to the Ising c axis of the Er3+ ions in erbium orthoferrite at T = 1.6 K have been analyzed. The model is chosen using the magneto-optical experimental data on the features of this state.
