Zeeman term for the Néel vector in a two sublattice antiferromagnet

We theoretically investigate the dynamics of solitons in two sublattice antiferromagnets under external perturbations, focusing on the effect of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interactions. To this end, we construct a micromagnetic field theory for the antiferromagnet in the presence of the external magnetic field, DM interaction, and spin-transfer torque. In particular, we show external magnetic field and spin current couple to Néel vector in a Zeeman-like manner when DM interactions present, which can be used to efficiently drive antiferromagnetic solitons of different dimensions. Besides, we study the effect of straining the local lattice. It can serve as an external handle on the Néel field inertia and thus dynamical properties. Our findings may find applications in antiferromagnetic spintronics.
