Fig. 5: Edge-induced domain wall dynamics in a 2D antiferromagnet under magnetic fields.

From: Relativistic domain-wall dynamics in van der Waals antiferromagnet MnPS3

Fig. 5

a Schematic of the intended wall motion taking place in opposite directions at different sublattices (i.e., A or B) under an external field Bz. Only atoms at one sublattice (green or violet) are shown around each edge to facilitate the view. The rotation of the spins over time at sublattices A (green) and B (violet) are represented with the arrows changing systematically in the background. Only Mn atoms are shown. b, c Monolayer MnPS3 terminated with both edges in zig-zag (ZZ) configuration, and with a combination of ZZ and dangling-bond (DB) arrangements, respectively. The domain wall is shown at the faint atoms in the middle of the layer.
