Distribution of ferromagnetic moments in crystals under external twisting

Abstract In an easy-axis ferromagnet, the effect of superposition of severe plastic deformation by twisting (SPDT) perpendicular to the “easy axis” on the ferromagnetic order parameter (OP) distribution is studied. The consideration is carried out within the frameworks of phenomenological theory of Landau. It is shown that SPDT effects the results in occurrence of the normal component of the magnetic OP and periodical change of OP modulus. The law of distribution of the magnetic moment is determined by proximity of the temperature of the crystal and any phase transition.
