Faculty Applied Sciences Department Radiation, Radionuclides and Reactors Date 2009-05-15 Abstract We present a comprehensive study of chiral fluctuations in the reference helimagnet MnSi by polarized neutron scattering and neutron spin echo spectroscopy, which reveals the existence of a completely left-handed and dynamically disordered phase. This phase may be identified as a spontaneous Skyrmion phase: it appears in a limited temperature range just above the helical transition TC and coexists with the helical phase at TC.
