摘要:

本文报道了利用Cu L3边共振软X射线衍射技术对手性多铁性绝缘体Cu_2OSeO_3中Skyrmion晶格的观测结果。我们观察到两个不同的skyrmion子晶格,产生化学上相同的协调数,但不同的磁活性轨道从不等价的铜网站的意外存在。Skyrmion子晶格相对于彼此旋转,这意味着晶格的长波长调制。调制矢量可以用施加的磁场来控制,将这种莫尔状相位与连续的相变相关联。我们的发现将开启一门涉及量子拓扑状态操纵的新科学。

英文摘要:

We report the observation of the skyrmion lattice in the chiral multiferroic insulator Cu2OSeO3 using Cu L3-edge resonant soft x-ray diffraction. We observe the unexpected existence of two distinct skyrmion sublattices that arise from inequivalent Cu sites with chemically identical coordination numbers but different magnetically active orbitals. The skyrmion sublattices are rotated with respect to each other implying a long wavelength modulation of the lattice. The modulation vector could be controlled with an applied magnetic field, associating this Moire-like phase with a continuous phase transition. Our findings will open a new class of science involving manipulation of quantum topological states.
