Measuring magnetization in antiferromagnetic materials with two sublattices can be effectively achieved using techniques such as neutron scattering, NMR, and muon spin rotation. Neutron scattering allows for the measurement of the magnetic structure factor, S(q), which helps in proposing a magnetic structure that corresponds to the observed data. NMR is also a viable method for investigating sublattice magnetization. The discussion suggests that a SQUID device could be integrated directly onto the material for measurement purposes. These methods provide valuable insights into the magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic materials.

Suppose that antiferromagnetic material have two sublattice. How can we measure magnetisation in sublattice A and in sublattice B? Maybe neutron scattering? How that work? Is NMR good solution maybe?

A SQUID device built right onto the material?

Thanks for your answer. Is there some source on the internet where I could read more about it?

Yes, both certainly viable. Another one is muon spin rotation.
 
Do you have some reference for NMR?
 
You can measure the magnetic structure factor, S(q) using elastic neutron scattering. You then can propose a magnetic structure that will match S(q). It works just like measuring the lattice structure.
 
A relative asked me about the following article: Experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-025-03028-y I pointed my relative to following article: Scientists Discovered a Time Crystal That Reveals a New Way to Order Time https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/scientists-discovered-time-crystal-reveals-180055389.html This area is outside of my regular experience. I'm interested in radiation effects in polycrystalline material, i.e., grain...
