Abstract
New type of magnetic first-order phase transition induced by external magnetic field applied in the ab-plane in DyFeO3 is investigated using different magnetooptic techniques. The phenomenological model of this transition is proposed. The phase diagram in H-T plane has been obtained for various H orientation in the ab-plane.
