Unusual magnetic susceptibility anisotropies
Unexpected hierarchy of T=0 susceptibilities!

The field induced mode – FIM
Only ONE magnetic mode for the (ab) and (RL) polarization
configurations of the light
Appearance of a second magnetic
mode for B || b, and ONLY for that orientation, in (RR) configuration

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

Topological defects and transport
Doped holes – cores of topological defects
Dynamics of defects is dissipative – bath of magnons

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.
