Hysteresis and Freedericksz thresholds for twisted states in chiral nematic liquid crystals: Minimum-energy path approach
Semen S. Tenishchev, Ivan M. Tambovtcev, Alexei D. Kiselev +1
We study minimum-energy pathways (MEPs) between the branches of metastable helical structures in chiral nematic liquid crystals (CNLCs)subjected to the electric field applied acros…

Stability of in-plane and out-of-plane chiral skyrmions in epitaxial MnSi(111)/Si(111) thin films: surface twists versus easy-plane anisotropy
Andrey O. Leonov, Ivan M. Tambovtcev, Igor S. Lobanov +1
The revisited theoretical phase diagrams for thin films of cubic helimagnets with the easy-plane anisotropy are shown to have different topology as previously reported [Phys. Rev.…
