Phase Transitions in Easiest-Magnetization Axis Аntiferromagnets.The aim is consecutive study of phase transition peculiarities inducted by outer magnetic field in EMA tetragonal and rhombohedral antiferromagnets including interaction of the magnetic and subsystemThe magnetic phase diagram was constructed for MnF2 under the uniaxial pressure and salient features of the static and the high-frequency magnetic susceptibility were determined at the tricritical point and in the vicinity of the second-order phase transitions. In the study it was first discovered that due to the Dzyaloshinsky interaction being noninvariant with respect to rotation of the magnetic subsystem in the basal plane, there is a critical value of the uniaxial pressure for which the nature of the spin-flop transition is different.
