Noncollinear magnetism in hexagonal MnPdGa thin films
Complex noncollinear magnetic structures attract great attention due to various associated emergent phenomena, such as the (anti)skyrmions lattice, a magnetic structure of topologically protected spin vortices. The formation of these nano-objects is usually associated to non-centrosymmetric materials, where the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction plays a crucial role. However, the recent discovery of biskyrmions up to room temperature in the centrosymmetric hexagonal MnPdGa magnet, opens the door to potential spintronic applications of the centrosymmetric materials, given that the control and manipulation of skyrmions/biskyrmions will be crucial in the development of high-density magnetic storage devices. In this proposal, we will quantify the spin canting of a 60 nm MnPdGa thin film by means of single-crystal neutron diffraction. At the moment, there are no reported studies of the magnetic properties of this compound in thin single-crystalline films. Our previous SCND experiments performed at D10 (ILL) proves that this methodology is successful for the quantification of spin canting in thin films.
