a An illustration of a calculated 180° antiferromagnetic octupole domain wall for Mn3Sn. The entire 180° AFDW structure can be divided into three segments of 60° AFDWs sandwiched by four antiferromagnetic domains, those octupole moments rotating along the x-axis ([0001] direction) with the rotation angle φ. b Calculated profile of the octupole moment φ along the x-axis. The octupole moments gradually rotate between neighboring kagome planes, forming stepwise Bloch domain wall configuration.
