Abstract

Description

The electronic states in incommensurate (IC) helical magnets are studied theoretically from the viewpoint of the localization/delocalization. It is found that in the multi-band system with relativistic spin-orbit interaction, the electronic wavefunctions show both the extended and localized natures along the helical axis depending on the orbital, helical wavenumber, and the direction of the plane on which spins rotate. Possible realization of this localization is discussed.
