Examining the Magnetic Spin Asymmetry arising from Skyrmion Single Crystals
The aim of the proposed work is to build a catalogue of experimental PNR data which charts the distinct magnetic phases exhibited by B20 MnSi, including the helical, conical, skyrmion and field polarised phases to elucidate the key features of (and any differences between) the resulting scattering patterns. Interestingly, through our work we have found that when observed "through the lens" of a PNR apparatus (which averages the in-plane component of magnetisation at each depth beneath the film surface), a skyrmion texture exhibits an equivalent scattering pattern to that of a trivial conical twist. This is a major technical detail which has been overlooked by several groups, and could suggest that previous conclusions of experimental PNR data are likely erroneous. Clarification of this question by means for further PNR investigations is now urgently required, and will have major implications for the entire field of skyrmion related research.
