From chiral spin liquids to skyrmion fluids and crystals, and their interplay with itinerant electrons

FA Gómez Albarracín, HD Rosales, M Udagawa… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The physics of skyrmions, and in particular the issue of how to isolate and manipulate them
individually, is a subject of major importance nowadays in the community of magnetism. In …

Spin-orbit coupled Hubbard skyrmions

R Makuta, C Hotta - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
When the material phases exhibit topological quantum numbers, they host defects protected
by the nontrivial topology. Magnetic skyrmions are such “quantized” objects, and although …
