Nonequilibrium spin dynamics in the chiral soliton lattice host YbNi3Al9
The uniaxial chiral magnetic material YbNi3Al9 is proposed as a host for a chiral soliton lattice (CSL). In this study, we thoroughly investigate the spin dynamics in YbNi3Al9 single crystals using magnetization ()-relaxation and electron spin resonance (ESR) techniques. The -relaxation analysis clearly reveals characteristics of a nonequilibrium CSL in YbNi3Al9. A prolonged relaxation is observed in the highly-nonlinear-CSL state, indicating nonequilibrium spin dynamics during the annihilation or nucleation of chiral magnetic solitons, consistent with the unfrustrated magnetic cluster model. The ESR study shows significant microwave responses when the magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the -axis (), while a weak response is observed when the field is aligned with the -axis (). Two resonance lines are identified for . The resonance signal at lower fields is attributed to the Goldstone excitation of chiral magnetic solitons, while the signal at higher fields is associated with ferromagnetic resonance. These findings enhance our understanding of the nonequilibrium spin dynamics of the CSL in YbNi3Al9 single crystals and are beneficial for the application of chiral magnetic solitons in spintronics.

期刊介绍:
Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics.
Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers:
1. Full research papers
2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:
- Data and/or a plot plus a description
- Description of a new method or instrumentation
- Negative results
- Concept or design study
3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
