Gauge theory applied to chiral magnets

This paper employs a non-abelian gauge theory to derive the relation between a chiral crystal structure and the bulk magnetic DMI energy term. We apply the method to the B20 chiral compounds, in which the chirality develops along the diagonals of the cubic crystal, and we derive, in this framework,...
