Origin of the short-period magnetic structure of MnGe from a first-principles high-temperature free energy — •Eduardo Mendive Tapia1,2, Manuel dos Santos Dias1, Stefan Blügel1, and Samir Lounis1 — 1Peter Grünberg Institute and Institute for Advanced Simulation, Forschungszentrum Jülich and JARA, 52425 Jülich, Germany — 2Department of Computational Materials Design, Max-Planck Institut für Eisenforschung, 40237 Düsseldorf, Germany
The helimagnetism of B20-type compounds such as MnSi and FeGe is usually understood as a competition between the ferromagnetic exchange interaction and the chiral Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The magnetism of MnGe defies this interpretation owing to the short-period of its 3q magnetic structure and distinct B-T magnetic phase diagram [1]. Using a Disordered Local Moment theory implemented in the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method [2,3], we construct a first-principles high-temperature free energy for MnGe, which explains the short-period from competing long-range interactions. Our calculations also reproduce experimental volume-dependence of both the period and the Néel transition temperature. The first-principles magnetic phase diagram obtained points to the importance of higher-order magnetic exchange interactions to explain the observed 3q and 4q magnetic structures.—Work funded by the DAAD and EU Horizon 2020 via ERC-consolidator Grant No. 681405–DYNASORE.
