In chiral magnets, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction stabilizes a magnetic helix which is a one-dimensional periodic magnetic texture. The exact orientation of this helical texture is determined by the competition between crystalline anisotropies and the applied magnetic field. We study the reorientation process of the helix as a function of field in the insulating chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3 using magnetic force microscopy. As a function of field, we determine the wavelength projected onto the sample surface as well as the electric polarization induced by the magnetoelectric coupling. Our experimental observations are well described by an effective Landau theory for the helix orientation as previously applied to MnSi [1].
