Field-tunable toroidal moment in a chiral-lattice magnet

Toroidal moments arise from vortex like spin arrangements. These moments can then interact, giving rise to ferri- or ferro-toroidal order, though controlling such order is difficult. Here, the authors demonstrate a ferri-toroidal state in BaCoSiO4, which under an applied magnetic field exhibits mult...
