“…In fact, similar to Sr 2 IrO 4 , Sr 3 Ir 2 O 7 is a G-type antiferromagnet at low temperature [5,6,7]. However, there remains some controversy over the details of the precise magnetic structure reported in the recent literature, and explanations of certain aspects of the bilayered system that are present in the experimental data [5,6,7,8]. This article reports an investigation of the antiferromagnetic structure with an in-depth study of the azimuthal and polarisation dependent resonant scattering signal with particular consideration of the domain behaviour, resulting as a consequence of the degeneracy of two magnetic propagation vectors k 1 =( 1 2 , 1 2 ,0) and The intensity of the ( 1 2 , 1 2 ,24) reflection, corresponding to the k 1 =( 1 2 , 1 2 ,0) magnetic propagation vector, has been measured as a function of x and y sample position in a temperature sequence T=90 K, 300 K, 90 K. The bright yellow regions are areas of high intensity and the dark areas are close to zero intensity.…”
