The experimental discovery of the suppression effect of the non-collinear phase in strong magnetic fields near the compensation point in ferrimagnetic structures was made. The observations were carried out using the magneto-optical method by creating a lateral temperature gradient in the plane of the epitaxial films of iron garnets. The non-collinear phase is absent in weak magnetic fields. If an external magnetic field exceeds the first critical value, the non-collinear phase arises near the compensation point. The temperature range of the non-collinear phase expands due to the field increase up to the second critical value. Further field increases conversely reduce the temperature range of the non-collinear phase so that the field above the second critical value causes the disappearance of the non-collinear phase. The effect of the occurrence and suppression of the non-collinear phase is demonstrated on samples of two types of iron garnet films with two and three magnetic sublattices. Phase diagrams of the magnetic states in the vicinity of the critical point are constructed, and it is shown that the region of existence of the non-collinear phase in a two-sublattice magnet is smaller than in a three-sublattice one.

The solution to the problem of calculating the magnetostatic interaction energy of domain walls in uniaxial magnetics with a uniform magnetization distribution inside the domains is given. In carrying out the calculations, the principle of equivalent currents is used, assuming a uniform distribution of magnetization and its representation by equivalent currents flowing along the domain walls and along the surface. Analytical expressions for the mutual induction of two rectangular conductors with an arbitrary aspect ratio have been obtained. Results may be helpful in determining equilibrium configurations of domain structures in magnetic elements of spintronic devices, magnetic sensors and magnetic memory.

While nearly single cycle THz pulse is conventionally accepted as the stimulus for the fastest and the most energy efficient control of spins in magnets, all-dielectric metasurfaces have been recently demonstrated to be the least dissipative mean to enhance and control the coupling of light to spins. All-dielectric metasurfaces for the THz control of spins hold great potential in the field of spintronics and related technologies, pushing the boundaries of speed and energy efficiency in spin-based information processing. Here we demonstrate such a metasurface for an advanced THz control of spins in a ferrimagnetic film of iron garnet. Structuring a nonmagnetic substrate one can force a THz electromagnetic field, otherwise described by plane waves, to acquire an out-of-plane magnetic field and thus enable arbitrary direction of the torque acting on spins in all three dimensions. Hence, metaphotonics opens up a plethora of opportunities for advanced control of spins at THz rates in many hot fields of contemporary science, including spintronics, magnonics and quantum computing.
