Abstract

On the example of first-order phase transitions in orthoferrites under the influence of an external magnetic field is shown the effectiveness of the application of the Landau theory of phase transitions, commonly used in second-order phase transitions. This is especially important when used Hamiltonian is a function of many variables.
