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.

Microscopic theory of electric polarization induced by skyrmionic order in GaV$_{4}$S$_{8}$
空隙尖晶石GaV $_{4}$ S $_{8}$最近被认为是具有与磁序耦合的相当大的极化$\boldsymbol{P}$的Skyrmion晶格态的原型多铁性材料。我们在微观层面上解释了这一现象。在密度泛函理论的基础上,我们构造了一个描述(V $_{4}$ S $_{4}$)$^{5+}$团簇分子轨道形成的弱耦合晶格中磁活性电子行为的有效模型.应用超交换理论和Berry相理论,导出了磁键中能量和极化变化与自旋方向的关系模型.我们认为,虽然每个skyrmion层主要是由超交换相互作用在同一平面上形成的,自旋依赖的$\boldsymbol{P}$产生的堆叠错位,这些平面在垂直方向上,这是固有的空隙尖晶石结构。我们预测各向同性,PDMATHAMR,反对称,$\sim \boldsymbol{e}_{i} \times \boldsymbol{e}_{j}$,贡献$\boldsymbol{P}$,解释实验观察到的效果的强烈竞争。
