Two members of the lacunar spinel crystal family, GaV4S8 and GaV4Se8, featuring a polar symmetry, have been reported to host Néel-type skyrmions [1,2]. Here, we present a provisional magnetic phase diagram for the 4d cluster magnet GaMo4S8, based on the combination of magnetization and small-angle neutron scattering experiments. GaMo4S8 is isostructural with the two other lacunar spinels, but exhibits a markedly stronger spin-orbit interaction. As a result, the periodicity of the magnetic modulations is found to be two times smaller, ∼ 10 nm, whereas the modulated magnetic phases extend from the Curie-temperature down to the lowest temperatures and show an extreme robustness against external fields up to 1.5-2 T.
