Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction: How to measure its sign in weak ferromagnetics?

Materials Science 2015-05-19 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

Three experimental techniques sensitive to the sign of the Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction are discussed: neutron diffraction, Moessbauer gamma-ray diffraction, and resonant x-ray scattering. Classical examples of hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) and MnCO3 crystals are considered in detail
