The Vollhardt crossing point at high magnetic field
arXiv:1803.09115 · doi:10.1016/j.physb.2018.05.031
Abstract
Direct measurements of the Vollhardt crossing point coordinates were performed making use data of dilatometric and ultrasound experiments on MnSi. As is shown the crossing points are not invariant in the extended range of magnetic field and should be viewed as a side effects of flattening and spreading out the fluctuation maxima or minima by magnetic field~\cite{Sti16}. Correspondingly the crossing point can not be identified with a characteristic feature controlling the phase transition. So further studies are needed to understand intriguing features of the phase diagram of helical itinerant magnet MnSi.
