Spirals and helices are common motifs of long-range order in magnetic solids, and they may also be organized into more complex emergent structures such as magnetic skyrmions and vortices. A new type of spiral state, the spiral spin-liquid, in which spins fluctuate collectively as spirals, has recently been predicted to exist. Here, using neutron scattering techniques, we experimentally prove the existence of a spiral spin-liquid in MnSc 2 S 4 by directly observing the spiral surface'-a continuous surface of spiral propagation vectors in reciprocal space. We elucidate the multi-step ordering behaviour of the spiral spin-liquid, and discover a vortex-like triple-q phase on application of a magnetic field. Our results prove the effectiveness of the J 1 -J 2 Hamiltonian on the diamond lattice as a model for the spiral spin-liquid state in MnSc 2 S 4 , and also demonstrate a new way to realize a magnetic vortex lattice through frustrated interactions. |
