Skyrmion formation in Ni-based Janus dihalide monolayers: Interplay between magnetic frustration and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Taylan Gorkan, Jyotirish Das, Jesse Kapeghian +6

We present a comprehensive theory of the magnetic phases in monolayer nickel-based Janus dihalides (NiIBr, NiICl, NiBrCl) through a combination of first-principles calculations and…
