摘要: We present a comprehensive analysis of high-resolution neutron scattering data involving spin echo spectroscopy and spherical polarimetry, which confirm the first-order nature helical transition in MnSi. The experiments reveal existence totally chiral dynamic phase very narrow temperature range above TC. This unconventional magnetic short-range order has topology similar to that skyrmion liquid or blue phases crystals.
