= Helimagnetism
{wiki=Helimagnetism}
Helimagnetism is a type of magnetic ordering that occurs in certain materials, characterized by a helical arrangement of magnetic moments (spins) within a spiral structure. In helimagnetic materials, the magnetic spins rotate in a helical fashion as a function of position, leading to a three-dimensional, non-collinear arrangement. This is different from ferromagnetism, where spins are aligned parallel to each other, and antiferromagnetism, where adjacent spins are aligned in opposite directions.
