Giant magneto-elastic coupling in a metallic helical metamagnet (1003.1206v3)
Published 5 Mar 2010 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci and cond-mat.str-el
Abstract: Using high resolution neutron diffraction and capacitance dilatometry we show that the thermal evolution of the helimagnetic state in CoMnSi is accompanied by a change in inter-atomic distances of up to 2%, the largest ever found in a metallic magnet. Our results and the picture of competing exchange and strongly anisotropic thermal expansion that we use to understand them sheds light on a new mechanism for large magnetoelastic effects that does not require large spin-orbit coupling.
