AI 中文摘要
淬火无序可破坏晶体有序性,却不会立即破坏其组成织构的拓扑结构,但斯格明子晶体中这两个过程的关联仍不明确。通过对具有随机DM相互作用的三角晶格手性磁体进行大规模模拟,研究表明磁场会在两种无序化路径中做出选择:在高场下,全局平移相干性在弱无序尺度处丧失,而六重键取向有序性则能在更大的无序强度下保留,总拓扑电荷在大得多的尺度上仍近乎锁定,由此形成的区间定义了一个拓扑缓冲,包含布拉格玻璃态类斯格明子区域及后续的斯格明子玻璃态区域;有限尺寸标度、空间关联、缺陷统计和自旋自相关均支持二者具有不同的结构与玻璃态特征。在低场下,键取向无序化几乎与拓扑重构同时发生,消除了斯格明子玻璃窗口并压缩了拓扑缓冲。这些结果表明磁场是分离晶体无序化与拓扑电荷损失的控制旋钮,确立了拓扑缓冲是拓扑织构在结构无序介质中保持鲁棒性的机制。
英文摘要
Quenched disorder can disrupt crystalline order without immediately destroying the topology of its constituent textures, but the relation between these processes in skyrmion crystals remains unclear. Using large-scale simulations of a triangular-lattice chiral magnet with random DM interactions, we show that the magnetic field selects between two disordering routes. At high fields, global translational coherence is lost at a weak-disorder scale, while sixfold bond-orientational order survives to a larger disorder strength and the total topological charge remains nearly locked up to a substantially larger scale. The resulting interval defines a topological buffer containing a Bragg-glass- like skyrmion regime followed by a skyrmion-glass regime. Finite-size scaling, spatial correlations, defect statistics, and spin autocorrelations support their distinct structural and glassy character. At lower fields, bond-orientational disordering nearly coincides with topological reconstruction, eliminating the skyrmion-glass window and contracting the buffer. These results identify the magnetic field as a control knob for separating crystalline disordering from topological-charge loss and establish topological buffering as a mechanism by which topological textures can remain robust in structurally disordered media.
