PdFe/Ir(111) has attracted tremendous attention for next-generation spintronics devices due to existence of magnetic skyrmions with the external magnetic field. Our density functional theoretical calculations in combination with spin dynamics simulation suggest that the spin spiral phase in fcc stacked PdFe/Ir(111) flips into the skyrmion lattice phase around B$_{ext} \sim$ 6 T. This leads to the microscopic understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic behaviours affected by the intrinsic spin-lattice couplings (SLCs) in this skyrmion material for magneto-mechanical properties. Here we calculate fully relativistic SLC parameters from first principle computations and investigate the effect of SLC on dynamical magnetic interactions in skyrmion multilayers PdFe/Ir(111). The exchange interactions arising from next nearest-neighbors (NN) in this material are highly frustrated and responsible for enhancing skyrmion stability. We report the larger spin-lattice effect on both dynamical Heisenberg exchanges and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions for next NN compared to NN which is in contrast with recently observed spin-lattice effect in bulk bcc Fe and CrI$_3$ monolayer. Based on our analysis, we find that the effective measures of SLCs in fcc (hcp) stacking of PdFe/Ir(111) are $\sim 2.71 ( \sim 2.36)$ and $\sim 14.71 ( \sim21.89)$ times stronger for NN and next NN respectively, compared to bcc Fe. The linear regime of displacement for SLC parameters is $\leq$ 0.02 Å which is 0.72\% of the lattice constant for PdFe/Ir(111). The microscopic understanding of SLCs provided by our current study could help in designing spintronic devices based on thermodynamic properties of skyrmion multilayers.

Strain-tunable Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya interaction and skyrmions in two-dimensional Janus Cr$_{2}$X$_{3}$Y$_{3}$ (X, Y = Cl, Br, I, X $\neq$ Y) trihalide monolayers
近年来,人们致力于寻找具有强Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用的二维铁磁材料。在这里,我们通过第一性原理的方法,系统地研究了双轴应变对Janus Cr $_{2}$ X $_{3}$ Y $_{3}$(X,Y = Cl,Br,I,X $\neq$ Y)单分子膜的磁化率,海森堡交换相互作用和磁各向异性能(MAE)的影响。拉伸应变可显著增强双折射和MAE,而$2\%$的压缩应变可诱导Cr $_{2}$ Cl $_{3}$ Br中双折射手性的反转和Cr $_{2}$ I $_{3}$ Cl $_{3}$中MAE从面外到面内的转换。在微观上,磁共振和MAE主要与重磁卤素原子的大自旋-轨道耦合有关,而不是与磁性Cr原子有关。特别是,特殊的磁性转变的Cr $_{2}$ I $_{3}$ Cl $_{3}$之间的竞争直接交换和超交换相互作用解释。微磁学模拟结果表明,外加65 mT的弱磁场能稳定Cr $_2$ I $_3$ Cl $_3$单层膜中直径为9.8 nm的skyrmion.我们的研究结果将为进一步研究二维Janus材料中的Skyrmions和Spin-tron提供指导,并为在自旋电子器件中的潜在应用奠定基础。
