Lelièvre-Berna, E. Bentley, P. Falus, P. Fouquet, P. Farago, B. Faculty Applied Sciences Department RRR/Radiation, Radionuclides and Reactors Date 2011-06-20 Abstract We present a comprehensive analysis of high-resolution neutron scattering data involving neutron spin echo spectroscopy and spherical polarimetry, which confirm the first-order nature of the helical transition in MnSi. The experiments reveal the existence of a totally chiral dynamic phase in a very narrow temperature range above TC. This unconventional magnetic short-range order has a topology similar to that of a skyrmion liquid or the blue phases of liquid crystals.
