Electric Current Control of Helimagnetic Chirality from a Multidomain State in the Helimagnet MnAu$_2$

In this paper, we study the domain wall dynamics under electric current in the helimagnet MnAu$_2$. We have found that the threshold electric current of the transition from a multidomain state to a single-chiral domain state in a magnetic field is much lower than that of chirality reversal from a single-chiral domain within certain ranges of temperature and magnetic field. The chirality after the transition depends on whether the magnetic field and electric current were parallel or antiparallel. Numerical calculations based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation reproduced the experimental observations. These results indicate that the domain walls are highly mobile in the helimagnet.

Current-induced sliding motion in a helimagnet MnAu$_2$

We found signatures of current-induced sliding motion in helimagnetic $\mathrm{Mn}\mathrm{Au}_2$ thin films. An abrupt change in differential resistivity occurred at a threshold bias current in the helimagnetic state, whereas it was absent in the induced ferromagnetic state. Broadband voltage noise also emerged above the threshold current in the helimagnetic state. Based on the similarity to canonical charge/spin density wave systems, we ascribed the origin of these phenomena to the sliding motion of the helimagnetic structure.
