Title

Tuning incommensurate spin textures in a Weyl semimetal

Abstract

This study aims at the investigation of a Weyl semimetal with tunable ferromagnetic exchange couplings in the series of Ce1-xPrxAlGe. The end members CeAlGe and PrAlGe offer remarkable new physics in terms of being rare examples of magnetic Weyl semimetals, while the solid solutions of Ce and Pr allow a tuning between an easy-plane spin texture with an incommensurate component (CeAlGe) and an easy-axis ferromagnet (PrAlGe). Here we propose to study the various solid solutions first by powder diffraction, and then by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to determine the composition-dependence of the magnetic ground state in detail. These data are needed for the full understanding of the interplay between magnetism and magnetotransport pheneomena arising from the topologically non-trivial features of the electronic structures in semimetals.
