Unusual magnetic susceptibility anisotropies ASHCROFT & MERMIN A. Lavrov et al. PRL (‘01) Unexpected hierarchy of T=0 susceptibilities!
The field induced mode – FIM Appearance of a second magnetic mode for B || b, and ONLY for that orientation, in (RR) configuration Only ONE magnetic mode for the (ab) and (RL) polarization configurations of the light A. Gozar et al., PRL (‘04)

Hole doping and spirals • Hole doping – dipolar frustration of the AF background • Anisotropies give robustness to the Neel ground state – DM gap vanishes at 2% - V. Juricic et al. in preparation! • Above 2% instability to a spiral phase New periodicity! N.Hasselman et al., PRB (‘04)
Topological defects and transport • Doped holes – cores of topological defects • Dynamics of defects is dissipative – bath of magnons V.Juricic et al., PRL (‘04)
Conclusions • Dzyaloshinskii Moryia interaction accounts for the unusual hierarchy of T=0 susceptibilities and for the anisotropic magnetic response. • It is also responsible for the rotation of the spin quantization basis and appearance of the FIM. • It gives robustness to the Neel ground state and vanishes at 2% where the ground state becomes a spiral.
