Field and anisotropy driven transformations of spin spirals in cubic skyrmion hosts
A. O. Leonov, C. Pappas, I. Kézsmárki
Abstract
The authors discuss several features of spiral states in bulk chiral magnets such as MnSi and Cu2OSeO3 that stem from the effect of the cubic magneto-crystalline anisotropy and could be imprinted on the functionalities of isolated chiral skyrmions.
