Tuning Magnetotransport through a Magnetic Kink Crystal in a Chiral Helimagnet
2011
We consider magnetotransport properties in a conducting chiral helimagnet, where the magnetic kink crystal (MKC) is formed under weak magnetic field applied perpendicular to the helical axis. The MKC behaves as a magnetic superlattice potential and results in Bragg scattering of conduction electrons. Tuning of the weak magnetic field enables us to control the size of the superlattice Brillouin zone and gives rise to a series of divergent resistivity anomalies originating from resonant Bragg scatterings. We discuss as well a nontrivial magnetic structure in the resonant states realized in the subsystem of the itinerant electrons.
