Volume 88, Issue 23

Map of the polarization-dependent part of the inelastic-neutron scattering function S for the ferromagnet MnSi. The dependence of S on neutron polarization indicates the presence of chiral spin fluctuations in the crystal, caused by spin-orbit coupling. [B. Roessli, P. Böni, W. E. Fischer, and Y. Endoh, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 237204 (2002)]
