What is Chiral Spin Pairing in Helical Magnets about?
The Ginzburg-Landau Hamiltonian for incommensurate frustrated classical spin systems is analyzed. The coupling to phonons through the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and/or the four-spin exchange interaction of the Coulomb origin under the egde-sharing network of magnetic and ligand ions drive chiral spin piarings, introducing two successive second-order phase transitions upon cooling. First, a vector spin-chiral order appears with an either parity, leaving an O(2) chiral spin liquid. Then, the O(2) symmetry is broken by the spin ordering into a helical magnetic state. Possible candidate materials are also discussed.
