Description
The existence of a vortex phase with non-trivial topological properties in an antiferromagnetic incommensurate magnet Ba₂CuGe₂O₇ has been verified, by means of neutron scattering and bulk measurements of specific heat and AC susceptibility. Despite lacking evidence of any signature of a phase transition in the bulk magnetisation and specific heat measurements, hints towards the presence of a vortex phase were found in the neutron scattering data.
