15. To express the type of spiral magnetic structures, we use the terminology (cycloidal, screw) defined by Cox [D. E. Cox, W. J. Takei, and G. Shirane, J. Phys. Chem. Solids JPCSAW 0022-3697 10.1016/0022-3697(63)90199-9 24, 405 (1963)]. If the spin-rotation axis is perpendiduclar to the propagation vector of spiral, the resulting arrangement is termed cycloidal structure [Fig. 1]. If the spin rotation axis is parallel to the propagation vector, the arrangement gives a screw structure [Fig. 1].
