Abstract

In the light of recent results obtained for the prototype helimagnet MnSi we examine the possible magnetic structures of compounds of the same family, consistent with the crystal symmetries when the magnetic propagation vector is parallel to the [001] axis. The analysis of a published muon spin rotation spectrum recorded in MnGe [Phys. Rev. B 93, 174405 (2016)] shows no deviation from the canonical helimagnetic structure, unlike in MnSi. This qualitative difference calls for further theoretical works on chiral magnets.<br />Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures
