Exploring the magnetic phase diagram of the chiral antiferromagnet [NH4][Mn(HCOO)3] at low fields
The existence of the Chiral Soliton Lattice (CSL) in magnets has also been confirmed in Ba2CuGeO7, CuB2O4, NdFe3(11BO3)4, and Yb(Ni1-xCux)3Al9. Among these inorganic examples, Ba2CuGeO7 and NdFe3(11BO3)4 accommodate the antiferromagnetic CSL (ACSL), where the staggered moments (instead of local moment) rotate with a period along the helical axis. However Inoue et al. reported the synthesis of of a molecule-based chiral magnetic compound, [NH4][Mn(HCOO)3] (space group P6322), optically transparent, that apparently could host a ACSL. However, the phase diagram of [NH4][Mn(HCOO)3] could also be described in base of a simpler model consisting of an AF magnetic state at low fields and a spin flop transition to a conical region. In order to discern between these two hypotheses, we propose to use single crystal neutron diffraction to determine the magnetic structure in each region of the phase diagram for the 2 different orientations of the magnetic field (parallel and perpendicular) respect to the c-axis in [NH4][Mn(HCOO)3].
