(Received 24 July 2014; revised manuscript received 16 December 2014; published 2 February 2015)We report a detailed study of the magnetic properties of a monoatomic layer of Mn on W(110). Bycomparing multiscale numerical calculations with measurements we evaluate the magnetic ground state ofthe system and its temperature-dependent evolution. We find that the ground state consists of a cycloidalspin spiral (CSS) that persists up to the Neel temperature with a temperature-independent wavelength.´However, by continuously increasing the temperature, that CSS becomes thermally depinned. This results ina time-averaged absence of magnetic order, a process that can be viewed as the antiferromagnetic analog ofsuperparamagnetism.DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.91.064402 PACS number(s): 75
