Local spin correlation orders emerge in a paramagnetic state, with notable examples such as the partial order, cooperative paramagnetism, and soliton spin liquid. The noncentrosymmetric intermetallic antiferromagnet Mn3RhSi also exhibits the local spin correlation order in the paramagnetic state as magnetic short-range order in a wide temperature range. Here, we show that the local spin correlation order has a spiral structure by neutron scattering measurement of a Mn3RhSi single crystal. The possible origins of the magnetic cluster formation are discussed in terms of the Lifshitz invariant and the Griffiths phase, and compared with the room-temperature skyrmion phase of Co7Zn7Mn6 and non-Fermi liquid behavior of β-Mn. Short-range magnetic orders emerge in a paramagnetic state, with notable examples such as the partial order, cooperative paramagnetism, and soliton spin liquid. Here, the authors use inelastic neutron scattering to investigate short-range magnetic order in Mn3RhSi single crystal finding evidence for a spin spiral cluster, which they suggest may be an origin of the anomalous physical property.

Background: The feasibility of magnetic anchor-guided endoscopic submucosal dissection (MAG-ESD) using a neodymium magnet for colorectal tumors has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to clarify the feasibility of MAG-ESD for colorectal tumors.Methods: This prospective trial was conducted at Yamashita Hospital. MAG-ESD was performed for 49 colorectal tumors. The magnetic anchor comprised an internal magnet attached to an endoclip with 3-0 silk. Both external and internal magnets were made using neodymium magnets. The feasibility of traction achieved using MAG-ESD, en bloc resection rate, complete en bloc resection rate, time required for preparation and attachment of the magnetic anchor, procedure time, rate of retrieval of magnetic anchors, and adverse events were evaluated.Results: MAG-ESDs were successfully performed for 48 colorectal tumors except for a rectal case in which the internal magnet stuck to the endoscope. En bloc resections and complete en bloc resections were achieved in all cases. Attaching the magnetic anchor required a median of 8 min (range 3-37 min). Median procedure time was 76 min (range 28-283 min) and the magnetic anchors were retrieved in all cases without adverse events.Conclusion: MAG-ESD is feasible and safe in the colon and may facilitate the treatment of all difficult lesions.
