摘要: Polarized neutrons are used to determine the antisymmetric part of magnetic susceptibility in noncentrosymmetric MnSi. The paramagnetic fluctuations found be incommensurate with chemical lattice and have a chiral character. We argue that interactions must taken into account properly describe critical dynamics MnSi above TC. possibility directly measuring polarization dependent dynamical large class compounds by polarized inelastic neutron scattering is outlined as it can yield evidence for such spin-orbit coupling metals well insulators.
