Abstract

The chiral fluctuations in MnSi above the Curie temperature were described. When the antisymmetric part of the magnetic susceptibility had a finite value the chiral fluctuations could be measured by polarized inelastic neutron scattering in zero field. The axial interactions led to a polarization dependent neutron cross section originating from the DM interaction. The magnetic anisotropy disappeared above Curie temperature and the maximum of magnetic scattering was located on spheres around the nuclear Bragg peaks.
