We report on the observation of magnon thermal conductivity $kappa_msim$ 70 W/mK near 5 K in the helimagnetic insulator Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$, exceeding that measured in any other ferromagnet by almost two orders of magnitude. Ballistic, boundary-limited transport for both magnons and phonons is established below 1 K, and Poiseuille flow of magnons is proposed to explain a magnon mean-free path substantially exceeding the specimen width for the least defective specimens in the range 2 K $<T<$ 10 K. These observations establish Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ as a model system for studying long-wavelength magnon dynamics.

We report studies of thermal conductivity as functions of magnetic field and temperature in the helimagnetic insulator Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ that reveal novel features of the spin-phase transitions as probed by magnon heat conduction. The tilted conical spi
ral and low-temperature skyrmion phases, recently identified in small-angle neutron scattering studies, are clearly identified by sharp signatures in the magnon thermal conductivity. Magnon scattering associated with the presence of domain boundaries in the tilted conical phase and regions of skyrmion and conical-phase coexistence are identified.
In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the low energy optical magnetic response of the skyrmionic Mott insulator Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ via high resolution time-domain THz spectroscopy. In zero field, a new magnetic excitation not predicted by spi
n-wave theory with frequency $f$ = 2.03 THz is observed and shown, with accompanying time-of-flight neutron scattering experiments, to be a zone folded magnon from the $mathrm{R}$ to $mathrm{Gamma}$ points of the Brillouin zone. Highly sensitive polarimetry experiments performed in weak magnetic fields, $mu_0$H $<$ 200 mT, observe Faraday and Kerr rotations which are proportional to the sample magnetization, allowing for optical detection of the skyrmion phase and construction of a magnetic phase diagram. From these measurements, we extract a critical exponent of $beta$ = 0.35 $pm$ 0.04, in good agreement with the expected value for the 3D Heisenberg universality class of $beta$ = 0.367. In large magnetic fields, $mu_0$H $>$ 5 T, we observe the magnetically active uniform mode of the ferrimagnetic field polarized phase whose dynamics as a function of field and temperature are studied. In addition to extracting a $g_text{eff}$ = 2.08 $pm$ 0.03, we observe the uniform mode to decay through a non-Gilbert damping mechanism and to possesses a finite spontaneous decay rate, $Gamma_0$ $approx$ 25 GHz, in the zero temperature limit. Our observations are attributed to Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interactions, which have been proposed to be exceptionally strong in Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ and are expected to impact the low energy magnetic response of such chiral magnets.
Magnetic skyrmions are nano-sized topological spin textures stabilized by a delicate balance of magnetic energy terms. The chemical substitution of the underlying crystal structure of skyrmion-hosting materials offers a route to manipulate these ener
gy contributions, but also introduces additional effects such as disorder and pinning. While the effects of doping and disorder have been well studied in B20 metallic materials such as Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$Si and Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Si, the consequences of chemical substitution in the magnetoelectric insulator Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ have not been fully explored. In this work, we utilize a combination of AC magnetometry and small angle neutron scattering to investigate the magnetic phase transition dynamics in pristine and Zn-substituted Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$. The results demonstrate that the first order helical-conical phase transition exhibits two thermally separated behavioural regimes: at high temperatures, the helimagnetic domains transform by large-scale, continuous rotations, while at low temperatures, the two phases coexist. Remarkably, the effects of pinning in the substituted sample are less prevalent at low temperatures, compared to high temperatures, despite the reduction of available thermal activation energy. We attribute this behaviour to the large, temperature-dependent, cubic anisotropy unique to Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$, which becomes strong enough to overcome the pinning energy at low temperatures. Consideration and further exploration of these effects will be crucial when engineering skyrmion materials towards future applications.
Anticrossing behavior between magnons in a non-collinear chiral magnet Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ and a two-mode X-band microwave resonator was studied in the temperature range 5-100K. In the field-induced ferrimagnetic phase, we observed a strong coupling regim
e between magnons and two microwave cavity modes with a cooperativity reaching 3600. In the conical phase, cavity modes are dispersively coupled to a fundamental helimagnon mode, and we demonstrate that the magnetic phase diagram of Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ can be reconstructed from the measurements of the cavity resonance frequency. In the helical phase, a hybridized state of a higher-order helimagnon mode and a cavity mode - a helimagnon polariton - was found. Our results reveal a new class of magnetic systems where strong coupling of microwave photons to non-trivial spin textures can be observed.
We present an investigation of the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram of Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ based on DC magnetisation and AC susceptibility measurements covering a broad frequency range of four orders of magnitude, from very low frequencies reachin
g 0.1 Hz up to 1 kHz. The experiments were performed in the vicinity of $T_C=58.2$ K and around the skyrmion lattice A-phase. At the borders between the different phases the characteristic relaxation times reach several milliseconds and the relaxation is non-exponential. Consequently the borders between the different phases depend on the specific criteria and frequency used and an unambiguous determination is not possible.
