Popis: The chiral magnets with topological spin textures provide a rare platform to explore topology and magnetism for potential application implementation. Here, we study the magnetic dynamics of several spin configurations on the monoaxial chiral magnetic crystal $MnNb_3S_6$ via broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) technique at cryogenic temperature. In the high-field forced ferromagnetic state (FFM) regime, the obtained frequency f vs. resonance field Hres dispersion curve follows the well-known Kittel formula for a single FFM, while in the low-field chiral magnetic soliton lattice (CSL) regime, the dependence of Hres on magnetic field angle can be well-described by our modified Kittel formula including the mixture of a helical spin segment and the FFM phase. Furthermore, compared to the sophisticated Lorentz micrograph technique, the observed magnetic dynamics corresponding to different spin configurations allow us to obtain temperature- and field-dependent proportion of helical spin texture and helical spin period ratio L(H)/L(0) via our modified Kittel formula. Our results demonstrated that field- and temperature-dependent nontrivial magnetic structures and corresponding distinct spin dynamics in chiral magnets can be an alternative and efficient approach to uncovering and controlling nontrivial topological magnetic dynamics.
