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 …

Valley splitting in low-density quantum-confined heterostructures studied using tight-binding models

TB Boykin, G Klimeck, M Friesen, SN Coppersmith… - Physical Review B …, 2004 - APS
A detailed study of reduced-basis tight-binding models of electrons in semiconducting
quantum wells is presented. The focus is on systems with degenerate valleys, such as …

Ground states, solitons and spin textures in spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates

SW Song, L Wen, CF Liu, SC Gou, WM Liu - Frontiers of Physics, 2013 - Springer
We present an overview of our recent theoretical studies on the quantum phenomena of the
spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates, including the phase diagram, soliton solutions and the …

Band topology and the quantum spin Hall effect in bilayer graphene

E Prada, P San-Jose, L Brey, HA Fertig - Solid State Communications, 2011 - Elsevier
We consider bilayer graphene in the presence of spin–orbit coupling, in order to assess its
behavior as a topological insulator. The first Chern number n for the energy bands of single …

Crystallized half-skyrmions and inverted half-skyrmions in the condensation of spin-1 Bose gases with spin-orbit coupling

SW Su, IK Liu, YC Tsai, WM Liu, SC Gou - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2012 - APS
The nonequilibrium dynamics of a rapidly quenched spin-1 Bose gas with spin-orbit
coupling is studied. By solving the stochastic projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we show …

Skyrmion zoo in graphene at charge neutrality in a strong magnetic field

J Atteia, Y Lian, MO Goerbig - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
As a consequence of the approximate spin-valley symmetry in graphene, the ground state of
electrons in graphene at charge neutrality is a particular SU (4) quantum Hall ferromagnet to …

Quantum Hall spin textures far beyond the skyrmion limit

AB Van'kov, AS Koreyev, PS Berezhnoy, IV Kukushkin - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
In strongly correlated quantum Hall ferromagnets with noninteger filling factors between ν= 1
and ν= 3/2, evidence of offbeat spin textures is obtained. The platforms for the study are two …

Spin-valley skyrmions in graphene at filling factor

Y Lian, MO Goerbig - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We model quantum Hall skyrmions in graphene monolayer at quarter filling by a theory of
CP 3 fields and study the energy minimizing skyrmions in the presence of valley pseudospin …

SU(4) Skyrmions in the Quantum Hall State of Graphene

Y Lian, A Rosch, MO Goerbig - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
We explore different Skyrmion types in the lowest Landau level of graphene at a filling factor
ν=±1. In addition to the formation of spin and valley pseudospin Skyrmions, we show that …

Magnon scattering off quantum Hall skyrmion crystals probes interplay of topology and symmetry breaking

N Chakraborty, R Moessner, B Doucot - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We introduce a model to study magnon scattering in skyrmion crystals, sandwiched between
ferromagnets, which act as the source of magnons. Thanks to recent experimental …
