Abstract
Flexomagnetism refers to the modification of the magnetic properties of a material due to inhomogeneous strain, and offers a promising pathway to the control and manipulation of magnetism. Here, Makushko et al. explore flexomagnetism in antiferromagnetic thin films of Cr2O3, demonstrating a gradient of the Néel temperature as a result of an inhomogeneous strain.
