Long-range non-collinearity and spin reorientation in the centrosymmetric hexagonal magnet NiMnGa — •Parul Devi1, Sanjay Singh2, Thomas Hermannsdörfer1, and Joachim Wosnitza1, 31Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory, HZDR, Germany — 2Institut für Festkörper und Materialphysik, TU Dresden, Germany — 3School of Materials Science and Technology, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi-221005, India

The recent discovery of biskyrmions and skyrmions in globally centrosymmetric crystals has raised questions about the role of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) in causing the topologically stable spin vortex textures, since DMI vanishes in such crystal structures. Here, we present a detailed crystal and magnetic structure investigation of the non-collinear hexagonal magnetic material NiMnGa exhibiting biskyrmions [1]. We show an investigation on the nature of the phase transitions, evidence of magnetoelastic coupling and anomalous thermal expansion in hexagonal, centrosymmetric NiMnGa using combined studies of magnetization and high-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction data. Magnetization data exhibits spin reorientation transition * 200 K. By means of powder neutron diffraction data, we investigate the change of the magnetic structure in NiMnGa. This study will help to understand the origin of biskyrmions in the absence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in magnetic materials.
