Abstract
Hysteresis has been observed in de Haas-van Alphen measurements of the Condon domains in silver, and it shows the first-order nature of the transition to the domain state. The hysteresis, and thus the first-order nature, is manifested in a nonlinear effect where a double-valued response of the amplitude with the applied external field is observed.
