B20-type compounds, such as MnSi and FeGe, host helimagnetic and skyrmion phases at the mesoscale, which are canonically explained by the combination of ferromagnetic isotropic interactions with weaker chiral Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya ones. Mysteriously, MnGe evades this paradigm as it displays a noncollinear magnetic state at a much shorter nanometer scale [1]. Using a Disordered Local Moment theory within the KKR method [2,3], here we show that the length scale and volume-dependent magnetic properties of MnGe stem from purely isotropic exchange interactions generally obtained in the paramagnetic state. Our approach is validated by comparing MnGe with the canonical B20-helimagnet FeGe. The free energy of MnGe is calculated, from which we show how triple-q magnetic states can stabilize by adding higher-order interactions. –Work funded by the DAAD and EU Horizon 2020 via ERC-consolidator Grant No. 681405-DYNASORE.
