Geometrically frustrated magnets can host complex spin textures, leading to unconventional
electromagnetic responses. Magnetic frustration may also promote topologically nontrivial …

[HTML][HTML] Skyrmion phase and competing magnetic orders on a breathing kagomé lattice

M Hirschberger, T Nakajima, S Gao, L Peng… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Magnetic skyrmion textures are realized mainly in non-centrosymmetric, eg chiral or polar,
magnets. Extending the field to centrosymmetric bulk materials is a rewarding challenge …

Topological exceptional surfaces in non-Hermitian systems with parity-time and parity-particle-hole symmetries

R Okugawa, T Yokoyama - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We study a topological band degeneracy in non-Hermitian systems with parity-time (PT) and
parity-particle-hole (CP) symmetries. In d-dimensional non-Hermitian systems, it is shown …

Magnetic bimerons as skyrmion analogues in in-plane magnets

B Göbel, A Mook, J Henk, I Mertig, OA Tretiakov - Physical review B, 2019 - APS
A magnetic bimeron is a pair of two merons and can be understood as the in-plane
magnetized version of a skyrmion. Here we theoretically predict the existence of single …

Majorana bound states in magnetic skyrmions imposed onto a superconductor

S Rex, IV Gornyi, AD Mirlin - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We consider a superconducting film exchange-coupled to a close-by chiral magnetic layer

Topological Hall effect and emergent skyrmion crystal at manganite-iridate oxide interfaces

N Mohanta, E Dagotto, S Okamoto - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
Scalar spin chirality is expected to induce a finite contribution to the Hall response at low
temperatures. We study this spin-chirality-driven Hall effect, known as the topological Hall …

Effect of magnetic anisotropy on skyrmions with a high topological number in itinerant magnets

S Hayami, Y Motome - Physical review B, 2019 - APS
We report our numerical results for the effect of magnetic anisotropy on a skyrmion crystal
with a high topological number of two, which was recently discovered in an itinerant electron …

Vison crystals in an extended Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice

SS Zhang, Z Wang, GB Halász, CD Batista - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
We introduce an extension of the Kitaev honeycomb model by including four-spin
interactions that preserve the local gauge structure and, hence, the integrability of the …
