| A Chiral Paramagnetic Skyrmion-like Phase in MnSi (2009) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We present a comprehensive study of chiral fluctuations in the reference helimagnet MnSi by polarized neutron scattering and Neutron Spin Echo spectroscopy, which reveals the existence of a completely left-handed and dynamically disordered phase. This phase may be identified as a spontaneous skyrmion phase: it appears in a limited temperature range just above the helical transition Tc and coexists with the helical phase at Tc. | |||||||||
