abstract = {Our research focuses on the magnetic properties of FeSi,
particularly investigating the potentialpresence of magnetic
chirality through neutron spin-dependent scattering
experiments. FeSi, whichcrystallizes in the P213 space
group, shows a distinct increase in bulk magnetic
susceptibility withtemperature, peaking around T = 500 K.
Despite this, it exhibits no long-range magnetic order
acrossthe entire temperature range. However, magnetic
fluctuations are observed at ambient and highertemperatures.
This study expands on previous work exploring the magnetic
behaviour of FeSi andthe related compound MnSi, which also
belongs to the P213 space group. MnSi has been shown
todemonstrate a skyrmion lattice phase, a unique magnetic
state with chiral fluctuations, which weaim to compare with
FeSi.Using polarized neutron beams and xyz-polarization
analysis on the IN12 triple-axis spectrometer,we conducted a
detailed examination of the magnetic fluctuations in FeSi.
We aimed to determinewhether chiral magnetic scattering is
an intrinsic feature of crystals with the B20 structure, a
crystalstructure known for its non-centrosymmetric
properties. We measured the differences in neutronscattering
intensities for distinct spin configurations and applied
flipping ratio corrections to enhancethe accuracy of our
results. While magnetic fluctuations were observed, the
analysis showedonly a small chiral component, suggesting
that chirality is not a pervasive magnetic feature in
FeSi,unlike in MnSi.Our findings’ comparison with the
magnetic fluctuations in MnSi provides insights into
FeSi’s magneticbehaviour that could have a significant
impact on the scientific community. It may help explainthe
enhancement of the topological Hall effect observed in
Mn(1-x)Fe(x)Si alloys. These results contributeto
understanding the complex magnetic ground states in
materials with non-centrosymmetriccrystal structures.20},
