Antiferromagnetic structures

Caption

While some antiferromagnetic structures are simple, with neighboring magnetic moments pointing in opposite directions, others, like CeTe3’s, are more complex. The pattern shown on the right is a simplified illustration of CeTe3’s magnetic structure. The longer the arrow, the larger the magnetic moment. Dots without arrows represent no magnetic moment.
