The magnetoelectric helimagnetic insulator Cu₂OSeO₃ shows a multiplicity of magnetic phases due to the interplay of ferrimagnetic and Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interaction. It was recently shown, that the excitations of these phases can be seen in the microwave absorption spectra where an AC magnetic field was coupled to the sample[1].
Additionally, topologically protected spin textures called skyrmions have been identified in these spectra. Since their discovery in MnSi, skyrmions have been of specialy interest because of their high potential for applications in spintronics[2].
We present the results of our broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements up to 5 GHz, in which we measured the excitations created by coupling electric and magnetic AC-fields to the sample for different magnetic DC-fields at fixed temperatures of 57.5 K and 40 K.
