In antiferromagnetic spintronics control of the domains and corresponding spin axis orientation is crucial for devices. Here we investigate the antiferromagnetic axis in (111)-oriented LaFeO ₃ SrTiO ₃ , which is coupled to structural twin domains. The structural domains have either the orthorhombic a- or b-axis along the in-plane <1$$\bar{1}$$0> cubic directions of the substrate, and the corresponding magnetic domains have the antiferromagnetic axis in the sample plane. Six degenerate antiferromagnetic axes are found corresponding to the <1$$\bar{1}$$0> and <11$$\bar{2}$$> in-plane directions. This is in contrast to the biaxial anisotropy in (001)-oriented films and reflects how crystal orientation can be used to control magnetic anisotropy in antiferromagnets.
