Planar Interfaces for Transmission of Chiral Spin Textures

Robin Msiska, Cynthia J. O. Reichhardt, Charles Reichhardt +2

Lateral magnetic interfaces provide a direct way to test whether skyrmions remain robust when driven across abrupt changes in material parameters and magnetic order. Here we study…

Pattern Formation and Stick-Slip Dynamics in Binary Particle Assemblies with Rotating Drives

C. Reichhardt, C. J. O. Reichhardt

We numerically examine a binary system of particles with repulsive interactions, where one species is driven by a rotating drive and the other is subjected either to a constant dri…

Janus skyrmion: Interfacial quasiparticle with two-faced helicity

Xichao Zhang, Rui Zhang, Qiming Shao +4

Janus particles are functional particles with at least two surfaces showing asymmetric properties. We show at the interface between two magnetic regions with different antisymmetri…

Diffusion asymmetry of repulsive skyrmions in structured environment

Xichao Zhang, Charles Reichhardt, Cynthia J. O. Reichhardt +5

The diffusion of matter in structured environments can give rise to emergent phenomena that do not occur in unstructured environments. Here, we report the asymmetric diffusion of m…

Active Microrheology and Dynamic Phases for Pattern Forming Systems with Competing Interactions

C. Reichhardt, C. J. O. Reichhardt

We consider the driven dynamics of a probe particle moving through an assembly of particles with competing long-range repulsive and short-range attractive interactions, which form…

Polarization and dynamic phases of aligning active matter in periodic obstacle arrays

Daniel Canavello, C. Reichhardt, C. J. O Reichhardt +1

We numerically examine a system of monodisperse self-propelled particles interacting with each other via simple steric forces and aligning torques moving through a periodic array o…
