Abstract
By selecting various timely topics it has been the aim of this review to point out the significance of Ising-type antiferromagnets to gain deeper insight into basic problems of statistical physics on the one hand and to understand the mechanism of exchange-bias in magnetic heterostructures on the other hand. As a guiding principle, simplicity of the crystalline and magnetic structure of the investigated AF compounds has been chosen in order to realize prototypical behaviors from various points of view.
