Abstract: We analyze the critical behavior of magnetically ordered phases appearing in a monoaxial chiral helimagnet in a weak external magnetic field. Using the formalism of the equations of state in the critical region, we determine the temperature dependence of the order parameters for the conical phase and the soliton-lattice phase. We calculated the critical exponents and show that they coincide with those in the three-dimensional Heisenberg model.

Keywords: Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, phase transition, critical index.
