The temperature Tc (or) < Tc (1) is the critical temperature of an orientational phase transition that arises in the stack when the magnetic energy and the energy of the stack volume for the inhomogeneous distribution of the magnetization become equal. This phase transition is analogous to orientational phase transitions in anisotropic ferromagnets based on the dependence of the magnetic anisotropy constant on temperature, H. Horner and C. M. Varma, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 20, 845 (1968) 10.1103/PhysRevLett.20.845; see also, e.g., Ref., 46 "Orientation transitions."
