Abstract
Magnetic skyrmions, topologically protected chiral spin swirling quasiparticles, have attracted great attention in fundamental physics and applications. Recently, the discovery of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnets has aroused great interest due to their appealing physical properties. Moreover, both experimental and theoretical works have revealed that isotropic Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction (DMI) can be achieved in 2D magnets or ferromagnet-based heterostructures. However, 2D magnets with anisotropic DMI haven't been reported yet. Here, via using first-principles calculations, we unveil that anisotropic DMI protected by D2d crystal symmetry can exist in 2D ternary compounds MCuX2. Interestingly, by using micromagnetic simulations, we demonstrate that ferromagnetic (FM) antiskyrmions, FM bimerons, antiferromagnetic (AFM) antiskyrmions and AFM bimerons can be realized in MCuX2 family. Our discovery opens up an avenue to creating antiskyrmions and bimerons with anisotropic DMI protected by D2d crystal symmetry in 2D magnets.
