Magnetization reversal is a well-studied non-equilibrium process by which a ferromagnet or ferrimagnet reverses its magnetization direction under an applied magnetic field larger than the coercive field. Here, Ghara et al find a new pathway by which this process can occur, showing that in the polar honeycomb magnet (Fe,Zn)2Mo3O8, magnetization reversal involves the emergence of an intermediate antiferromagnetic state.
