We investigated the phase-transition kinetics of magnetic skyrmion lattice (SkL) in MnSi by means of stroboscopic small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Temporal evolutions of SANS patterns were measured with time resolution of 13 ms while sweeping temperature as fast as 50 Ks. It turned out that the paramagnetic-to-SkL transition immediately occurs upon traversing the equilibrium phase boundary on the rapid cooling, whereas the SkL-to-conical transition can be kinetically avoided to realize the low-temperature metastable SkL with a long-range magnetic order. The formation of the metastable SkL was found to be strongly dependent not only on cooling rate, but also on magnetic eld and trajectory in the H-T phase diagram.

Single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements in strong magnetic fields have been performed for magnetoelectric compounds GdMnO and TbMnO. It has been found that the //a ferroelectric phase induced by the application of a magnetic field at low temperatures is characterized by commensurate lattice modulation along the orthorhombic axis with q=1/2 and q=1/4. The lattice modulation is ascribed to antiferromagnetic spin alignment with a modulation vector of (0 1/4 1). The change of the spin structure is directly correlated with the magnetic-field-induced electric phase transition, because any commensurate spin modulation with (0 1/4 1) should break glide planes normal to the axis of the distorted perovskite with the space group.

A very small capacitor bank and miniature pulsed magnets have been developed to perform high-field synchrotron radiation experiments. A 20T pulsed field can be generated using an energy of 1kJ with typical pulse duration about 1ms. Electron spin resonance experiments in millimeter wave range and high-field X-ray diffraction experiments have been done successfully.
