Description

Chiral fluctuations can be found close to a phase transition in helical or spiral magnetic systems. Due to their inherent non-zero magnetic moment measuring fluctuations is non-trivial. Here the possibility to use the orbital angular momentum of x-rays is discussed as an avenue to understanding the entropic driving forces driving these fluctuating frustrated systems.
