扭曲范德华磁体中的Skyrmions

Skyrmions in twisted van der Waals magnets

Muhammad Akram, Onur Erten

摘要:

二维手征磁体中的磁skyrmions通常通过Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya相互作用和外部磁场的组合来稳定。在这里,我们表明,skyrmion也可以稳定在扭曲的莫尔超晶格中的外部磁场的情况下。我们的设置包括一个2D铁磁层扭曲的反铁磁衬底的顶部。铁磁层和衬底之间的耦合产生有效的交变交换场。我们发现一个大区域的Skyrmion晶体相时的莫尔周期和Skyrmion的长度尺度是兼容的。与磁场下的手征磁体不同,莫尔超晶格中的skyrmions显示出易轴(Ising)各向异性的增强的稳定性,这对于实现skyrmions是必不可少的,因为大多数范德华磁体具有易轴各向异性。

英文摘要:

Magnetic skyrmions in 2D chiral magnets are in general stabilized by a combination of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and external magnetic field. Here, we show that skyrmions can also be stabilized in twisted moiré superlattices in the absence of an external magnetic field. Our setup consists of a 2D ferromagnetic layer twisted on top of an antiferromagnetic substrate. The coupling between the ferromagnetic layer and the substrate generates an effective alternating exchange field. We find a large region of skyrmion crystal phase when the length scales of the moiré periodicity and skyrmions are compatible. Unlike chiral magnets under magnetic field, skyrmions in moiré superlattices show enhanced stability for the easy-axis (Ising) anisotropy which can be essential to realize skyrmions since most van der Waals magnets possess easy-axis anisotropy.
