Dear Bothina

every magnet has an easy and a hard axis, the difference between
them is what is called the MAE. In the case of an antiferromagnet,
this is exacltly what happen, there is  a direction which is
easier to the magnetic moments to align and other direction which is
not the case.

Regards

-aldo.

-> Dear All,
->             I have a question about the magnetocrystalline anisotropy

-> material such as NiMn, where the net magnetization is zero ?
