Magnetic frustration can induce interesting magnetic phases including skyrmion state in centrosymmetric materials. By means of Monte Carlo simulations, we theoretically study the frustrated J1-J2classical Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice. Both h-J2 and h-T phase diagrams show rich magnetic phases, and skyrmion state can be stabilized by J2. These results can be qualitatively explained by energy competitions, and indicate that skyrmion can be driven by the competition of short-range interactions in absence of DM interaction. This may help us to design and apply the skyrmion devices more easily in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
