摘要

The magnetic structure of the cubic helimagnet MnGe was studied by small-angle neutron scattering in a wide temperature range from 10 to 300 K. We show that MnGe undergoes a complex order-disorder phase transition covering more than 100 K above the critical temperature T_N = (130 ± 2) K. Moreover, the helical structure is intrinsically unstable below T_N, since the profile of the reflection at k_h, ~ 2 nm~(-1) associated with the spin helix can be described by the sum of Gaussian and Lorentzian contributions, indicating a stable helix and spin-helix fluctuations, respectively. The Gaussian behavior determines the system at low temperature, whereas the Lorentzian is negligible. With increasing temperature, however, the Lorentzian starts to contribute and dominates at T_N. The spin-helix fluctuations are accompanied by intensive spin excitations observed in small-angle neutron scattering as Q-independent scattering at Q < k_h. The integral intensities of both the spin excitations and spin fluctuations obey exactly the same temperature law proportional to exp(T/T_α) with the activation temperature T_α = (80 ± 1) K. These two contributions coexist above T_N, being well distinguished up to J_(DM) = 150 K, where they are intermixed with and transform into diffuse scattering at T_(SR) = (175 ± 5) K. Above T_(SR) the diffuse scattering is well described by a Gauss law, ascribed to static short-range ferromagnetic inhomogeneities with an inverse correlation length κ ≈ 2 nm~(-1).
