Abstract
It has been found experimentally that, at temperatures below 312K, chromium has antiferromagnetic order with a spin density wave (SDW) incommensurate with the lattice constant. The wave vector Q = 27π/a* (1 — δ, 0, 0) ( a is the lattice constant and δ ≈ 0.05) of the SDW is oriented in the direction of one of the cubic axes. As a consequence the unit cell contains about 40 chemically equivalent atoms with different magnitude of the magnetic moment. The local magnetic moments are collinear and sinusoidally modulated with a maximum value M = 0.59µ B. At a temperature of 118K, the SDW polarization changes from longitudinal to transversal (the spin-flip phase transition).
