A general model of MnSi-like spiral magnets
arXiv:2105.01624 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.094408
Abstract
A general, symmetry-allowed model of nearest-neighbour interactions for MnSi-like magnets is presented. A left-handed helical magnet phase occurs within a large parameter space of the model, which is explored via numerical simulation. The relations between microscopic features of the spiral structure and various model parameters, including an external magnetic field, are determined and show good agreement with predictions from free energy considerations. A skyrmion structure is stabilized near the boundary.
