Comparative Electronic Structures of the Chiral Helimagnets Cr_1/3NbS₂ and Cr_1/3TaS₂.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic materials with noncollinear spin textures are promising for spintronic applications. To realize practical devices, control over the length and energy scales of such spin textures is imperative. The chiral helimagnets Cr_1/3NbS₂ and Cr_1/3TaS₂ exhibit analogous magnetic-phase diagrams with different real-space periodicities and field dependence, positioning them as model systems for studying the relative strengths of the microscopic mechanisms giving rise to exotic spin textures. Although the electronic structure of the Nb analogue has been experimentally investigated, the Ta analogue has received far less attention. Here, we present a comprehensive suite of electronic structure studies on both Cr_1/3NbS₂ and Cr_1/3
