Attractive Hopfions and Bimerons in Thin Films of Chiral Magnets: Cluster Formation and Lattice Instability in the Conical Phase
Andrey O. Leonov, Takayuki Shigenaga
We investigate the energetics, interactions, and ordering tendencies of bimerons (cholesteric fingers of the second type, CF--2) and hopfions in thin films of chiral magnets and ch…
Cholesteric Fingers from a Magnetic Perspective: Topology, Energetics, and Interactions
Takayuki Shigenaga, Andrey O. Leonov
Chiral liquid crystals and chiral magnets host a wide variety of topological solitons described by closely related continuum theories, namely the Frank-Oseen and Dzyaloshinskii mod…
Low-Temperature Skyrmions and Spiral Reorientation Processes in Chiral Magnets with Cubic Anisotropy: Guidelines for Bridging Theory and Experiment
A. O. Leonov, G. Gödecke, J. Grefe +2
We revisit the phenomenological Dzyaloshinskii framework, a central theoretical approach for describing magnetization processes in bulk chiral magnets, and demonstrate how magnetoc…
Meron-mediated phase transitions in quasi-two-dimensional chiral magnets with easy-plane anisotropy: successive transformation of the hexagonal skyrmion lattice into the square lattice and into the tilted FM state
Andrey O. Leonov
I revisit the well-known structural transition between hexagonal and square skyrmion lattices induced by increasing easy-plane anisotropy in quasi-two-dimensional chiral magnets. I…
Reorientation transition between square and hexagonal skyrmion lattices near the saturation into the homogeneous state in quasi-two-dimensional chiral magnets
Andrey O. Leonov
I revisit the well-known phase transition between the hexagonal skyrmion lattice and the homogeneous state within the phenomenological Dzyaloshinskii theory for chiral magnets whic…
