The magnetoelectric Cu₂OSeO₃ is the first established insulator within the class of cubic chiral helimagnets crystallizing with space group P2₁3. Perhaps most fascinating, these compounds give rise to a regular lattice of topologically non-trivial spin whirls, the so-called Skyrmion lattice. The magnetoelectric coupling in Cu₂OSeO₃ thereby promises novel phenomena compared to itinerant magnets such as MnSi, Fe_1−xCo_xSi, or FeGe. While in the latter systems the influence of doping on the magnetic properties was already investigated in detail, no corresponding data are available for Cu₂OSeO₃. Here, we report a comprehensive study by means of magnetization and small-angle neutron scattering focusing on the determination of the magnetic phase diagram of vapor-transport-grown samples of Cu₂OSeO₃ substitutionally doped with various transition metals.
