Multiferroic materials have been intensively studied these last decades for their interesting physics and their promising magnetoelectric applications [1]. Materials having a crystallographic chirality are particularly interesting in the sense that their structure can couple to magnetism an display novel magnetoelectric coupling mechanisms. This is the case of MnSb$_2$O$_6$ which crystallizes...
NiCo2TeO6 crystallises in the R3 space group where the displacements of the O1/O2 oxygen atoms in the triangular plaquettes lead to left-handed and right-handed structural chiralities [1]. This compound is particularly interesting because an anomaly was observed in the dielectric susceptibility at TN suggesting the presence of magnetoelectric behaviour [2]. A long-range magnetic order...
Chiral magnetic structures in single crystals and thin film structures probed by polarization-analyzed Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) & Grazing-Incidence-SANS are often connected to complex analysis procedures and require the development of individual magnetic models. Additionally, precise data-reduction protocols are needed to distinguish sample scattering from instrumentational...
Our research focuses on the magnetic properties of FeSi, particularly investigating the potential presence of magnetic chirality through neutron spin-dependent scattering experiments. FeSi, which crystallizes in the P213 space group, shows a distinct increase in bulk magnetic susceptibility with temperature, peaking around T = 500 K. Despite this, it exhibits no long-range magnetic order...
