Comparison between the temperature dependence of the length of the q-vectors (left scale) and the Gilbert-damping parameter α (right scale) in the metastable SkLs of a Co7Zn7Mn6, b Co8Zn8Mn4, c Co9Zn9Mn2 and d Co10Zn10. Blue circles show the q-vector length in the SkL states, obtained during field cooling, and red squares in the helical phase, while green triangles indicate α. The green area represents the equilibrium SkL state just below the Curie temperature (blue line). The green shaded area represents the regime over which the metastable SkL preserves the hexagonal symmetry, while the red and violet shaded areas indicate the square and rhombic SkL states, respectively. The light blue shaded area stands for the spin-glass phase (see also Fig. 1).
