Abstract
We report small angle neutron scattering of spontaneous and magnetic field aligned components of the helical spin polarization in MnSi for temperatures T down to 0.35 K, at pressures p up to 21 kbar, and magnetic field B up to 0.7 T. The parameter range of our study spans the first order transition between helical order and partial magnetic order at p{c}=14.6 kbar, which coincides with the onset of an extended regime of non-Fermi liquid resistivity. Our study suggests that MnSi above p{c} is not dominated by the remnants of the first order transition at p{c}, but that an unidentified mechanism favors stabilization of a new ground state other than helical order.Year: 2007 PMID: 17995197 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.156406
