A chiral soliton lattice (CSL) is a topological spin-texture that has potential applications in next-generation spintronic devices. In this work, we performed angle-dependence of magnetization and electron spin resonance (ESR) investigations on the CSL host Yb(Ni
1−x Cux )3 Al9 with x = 0.06 (YNCA). The angle-dependent magnetization reveals a peculiar variable magnetic anisotropy. The maximum magnetization axis is parallel to the ab-plane below the field of ∼35.7 kOe while shifts to the c-axis at higher fields. The microwave responses of the CSL helicoid and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) of the forced ferromagnetic state (FFM) are observed and appear as two resonance lines on ESR spectra with the highest intensities in the ab-plane. When the external field is rotated from H ⊥ c to H / / c , the resonance field H r 1 corresponding to the CSL helicoid decreases while H r 2 correlated with the FMR increases. Furthermore, the temperature-dependent ESR shows that the CSL persists until 15 K much higher than TC (6.4 K), which suggests a precursor phenomenon. The microwave response in YNCA provides a powerful tool for modulating and researching the CSL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
