25. Hexagonal (111) lattice faces can also be considered appropriately. Since AFM (111) layers break up into three sublattices, the analysis will be slightly more complicated.
26. Note that for an AFM monolayer the dipole interaction preferres a perpendicular magnetization, however with a much smaller energy gain than the demagnetizing energy of an FM layer (P.J. Jensen, Ann. Physik (Leipzig) 6, 317 (1997);
