摘要:

利用数值模拟方法研究了人工可果美自旋冰系统中磁单极子的微磁学性质。我们表明,微磁学带来了额外的复杂性,这些磁单极子的物理本质上是不存在的自旋模型:除了一个细分的经典磁荷,磁单极子在人工戈薇冰手征剩磁。我们的模拟预测,这些单极子的手性可以控制,而不改变其电荷状态。这种手征性破坏了顶点对称性,并在施加的磁场下触发了顶点的定向运动。我们的研究结果还表明,晶格的几何特征的选择可以用来打开和关闭这种手性,从而允许调查的手征和非手性单极子。

英文摘要:

Micromagnetic properties of monopoles in artificial kagome spin ice systems are investigated using numerical simulations. We show that micromagnetics brings additional complexity into the physics of these monopoles that is, by essence, absent in spin models: besides a fractionalized classical magnetic charge, monopoles in the artificial kagome ice are chiral at remanence. Our simulations predict that the chirality of these monopoles can be controlled without altering their charge state. This chirality breaks the vertex symmetry and triggers a directional motion of the monopole under an applied magnetic field. Our results also show that the choice of the geometrical features of the lattice can be used to turn on and off this chirality, thus allowing the investigation of chiral and achiral monopoles.
