Abstract

The possibility of forming a modulated (spiral) magnetic structure in anisotropic Heisenberg and non-Heisenberg magnets with a frustrated Heisenberg exchange interaction has been investigated. It has been demonstrated that, apart from homogeneous (ferromagnetic and quadrupole) states, the Heisenberg magnets with a strong easy-plane anisotropy can have a spiral magnetic structure. The axis of the spiral coincides with the direction of the external magnetic field. The inclusion of the biquadratic exchange interaction leads to a narrowing of the magnetic field region of the existence of the spiral structure. In the absence of the external magnetic field, the spiral structure can be formed only in the case of easy-axis anisotropy.
