Chiral nematic and fluctuation-induced first-order phase transitions in AB-stacked kagome bilayers

A. Zelenskiy, M. L. Plumer, B. W. Southern +2

We study a Heisenberg-Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Hamiltonian on AB-stacked kagome bilayers at finite temperature. In a large portion of the parameter space, we observe three transitions…
