Structural chirality and magnetism, when intertwined, can have profound implications on materials properties. Using X-ray imaging and spectroscopic measurements that leverage the natural and magnetic circular dichroic effects present in magnetized chiral crystal structures, we probe the interplay between chirality and magnetism across the field-induced spin-flop transition of Dy ferroborate, DyFe₃ (BO₃)₄. Deconvolution of natural and magnetic circular dichroic signals at the Fe K and Dy L_2,3 absorption edges of the non-centrosymmetric structure was enabled by use of tunable temperature and magnetic field, providing access to element-specific magnetic information across the spin-flop transition. The magnetic response of Fe and Dy sublattices was found to be independent of domain chirality. The chiral domains were robust against both the (chirality preserving) R32 to P3₁ 21/P3₂ 21 structural phase transition at 280 K, and application of magnetic field up to 4 Tesla. A third flavor of X-ray dichroism, magneto-chiral dichroism, was not detected within the accuracy of our measurements. The absence of significant Fe magnetization along the screw, c-axis for the magnetic field strength used in this study, together with non-linear coupling of magnetic field to electric polarization across the spin-flop transition, may hinder observation of magneto-chiral dichroic effects in this system.
