摘要:
我们研究了磁性材料中类涡旋磁化构型——即所谓的磁性斯格明子(magnetic skyrmion)的稳定性。这类构型对应含Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya(DM,Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya)相互作用的Landau-Lifshitz能量的临界点。在Döring与Melcher的早期工作中,已知当DM项的系数较小时,斯格明子是基态。本文中我们证明存在一个明确的系数临界值:当系数高于该值时斯格明子不稳定,低于该阈值时则稳定。此外,我们通过构造一类螺旋构型的明确反例,证明在不稳定区域中能量的下确界无下界。这从数学层面解释了部分实验中观测到的相变现象。
英文摘要:
We examine the stability of vortex-like configuration of magnetization in magnetic materials, so-called the magnetic skyrmion. These correspond to critical points of the Landau-Lifshitz energy with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions. In an earlier work of the Döring and Melcher, it is known that the skyrmion is a ground state when the coefficient of the DM term is small. In this paper, we prove that there is an explicit critical value of the coefficient above which the skyrmion is unstable, while stable below this threshold. Moreover, we show that in the unstable regime, the infimum of energy is not bounded below, by giving an explicit counterexample with a sort of helical configuration. This mathematically explains the occurrence of phase transition observed in some experiments.
