Pattern formation in skyrmionic materials with anisotropic environments

Abstract: Magnetic skyrmions have attracted broad attention during recent years because they are regarded as promising candidates as bits of information in novel data storage devices. A broad range of theoretical and experimental investigations have been conducted with the consideration of rotational symmetric skyrmions in isotropic environments. However, one naturally observes a huge variety of anisotropic behavior in many experimentally relevant materials. In the present work, we investigate the influence of anisotrop… Show more

“…This already suggests the presence of a non-uniform sign of the local vorticity. A deeper theoretical analysis puts forward that the observed spin structure is a magnetic skyrmion with |Q| = 1 exhibiting a non-circular shape [37]. It is interesting to note the similarity of the out-of-plane SP-STM contrast of this reported skyrmion and our skyrmion with Q = −2 [see Fig.…”

“…We have to stress that the shape of the magnetic skyrmions formed in anisotropic environments, e.g., in reconstructed films [17,37], considerably affects the local vorticity and, consequently, the observed in-plane SP-STM contrasts. Such an example is an axially nonsymmetric spin structure derived from experimental SP-STM contrasts in Ref.…”

“…As an example, reconstruction lines in Fe/Ir(111) lead to an alteration of the wavefront of spin spirals 15 and finally to the stabilization of skyrmions that are not axially symmetric 16 .…”

“…It is suggested theoretically that the magnitude of the DM interaction is prominently modulated by the lattice distortion, resulting in the deformation of the skyrmion. Furthermore, distorted skyrmion is suggested to be stabilized in thin films of chiral magnets under tilted magnetic fields and/or with anisotropic environments [26,27].…”
