Fluctuation-driven topological Hall effect in room-temperature itinerant helimagnet Fe3Ga4

Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Priya Ranjan Baral, Youngro Lee

The topological Hall effect (THE) is a hallmark of a non-trivial geometric spin arrangement in a magnetic metal, originating from a finite scalar spin chirality (SSC). The associated Berry phase is often a consequence of non-coplanar magnetic structures id ...

Short-wave magnons with multipole spin precession detected in the topological bands of a skyrmion lattice

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Dirk Grundler, Arnaud Magrez, Ping Che, Priya Ranjan Baral, Thomas Schönenberger

Topological magnon bands enable uni-directional edge transport without backscattering, enhancing the robustness of magnonic circuits and providing a novel platform for exploring quantum transport phenomena. Magnetic skyrmion lattices, in particular, host a ...

Direct observation of exchange anisotropy in the helimagnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3

Arnaud Magrez, Priya Ranjan Baral, Jonathan White, Chen Luo

The helical magnetic structures of cubic chiral systems are well explained by the competition among Heisen-berg exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, cubic anisotropy, and anisotropic exchange interaction (AEI). Recently, the role of the latter has ...

Ba-5(IO6)(2): crystal structure evolution from room temperature to 80 K

Arnaud Magrez, Priya Ranjan Baral

The crystal structure of Ba-5(IO6)(2), pentabarium bis(orthoperiodate), has been re-investigated at room temperature based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with a previous crystal structure determination by the Rietveld method, an im ...
