The chiral biquadratic pair interaction
arXiv:1902.08607 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/ab35c9
Abstract
Magnetic interactions underpin a plethora of magnetic states of matter, hence playing a central role both in fundamental physics and for future spintronic and quantum computation devices. The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, being chiral and driven by relativistic effects, leads to the stabilization of highly-noncollinear spin textures such as skyrmions, which thanks to their topological nature are promising building blocks for magnetic data storage and processing elements. Here, we reveal and study a new chiral pair interaction, which is the biquadratic equivalent of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. First, we derive this interaction and its guiding principles from a microscopic model. Second, we study its properties in the simplest prototypical systems, magnetic dimers deposited on various substrates, resorting to systematic first-principles calculations. Lastly, we discuss its importance and implications not only for magnetic dimers but also for extended systems, namely one-dimensional spin spirals and complex two-dimensional magnetic structures, such as a nanoskyrmion lattice.
