Magneto-optical study of the insulating helimagnet Cu₂OSeO₃ — Rolf B. Versteeg¹, •Simon Schäfer¹, Aisha Aqeel², Graeme R. Blake², Thomas T.M. Palstra², and Paul H.M. van Loosdrecht¹ — ¹II.

The Mott insulator Cu₂OSeO₃ has recently gained considerable scientific interest owing to the presence of a Skyrmion lattice phase. We report our findings of a comprehensive study of the magneto-optical properties of bulk Cu₂OSeO₃. The different optical transitions observed in the light polarization rotation spectra allow us to map out the magnetic phase diagram of Cu₂OSeO₃.
