Skyrmion lattice structural transition in MnSi
Magnetic skyrmions exhibit particle-like properties owing to the topology of their swirling spin texture, providing opportunities to study crystallization of topological particles. However, they mostly end up with a triangular lattice, and thus, the packing degree of freedom in the skyrmion particles has been overlooked so far. We report a structural transition of the skyrmion lattice in MnSi. ...
متن کاملPositron spectroscopy of point defects in the skyrmion-lattice compound MnSi
Outstanding crystalline perfection is a key requirement for the formation of new forms of electronic order in a vast number of widely different materials. Whereas excellent sample quality represents a standard claim in the literature, there are, quite generally, no reliable microscopic probes to establish the nature and concentration of lattice defects such as voids, dislocations and different ...
متن کاملSpecific heat of the Skyrmion lattice phase and field-induced tricritical point in MnSi.
We report high-precision measurements of the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the specific heat, C(T,H), across the magnetic phase diagram of MnSi. Clear anomalies establish the Skyrmion lattice unambiguously as a thermodynamic phase. The evolution of the specific heat anomalies, the field dependence of the entropy released at the phase transitions, and the temperature versus field ...
متن کاملLow energy Skyrmion-Skyrmion scattering.
We study the scattering of two Skyrmions at low energy and large separation. We use the method proposed by Manton for truncating the degrees of freedom of the system from in nite to a manageable nite number. This corresponds to identifying the manifold consisting of the union of the low energy critical points of the potential along with the gradient ow curves joining these together and by posit...
متن کاملElectrical probing of field-driven cascading quantized transitions of skyrmion cluster states in MnSi nanowires
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stable whirlpool-like spin textures that offer great promise as information carriers for future spintronic devices. To enable such applications, particular attention has been focused on the properties of skyrmions in highly confined geometries such as one-dimensional nanowires. Hitherto, it is still experimentally unclear what happens when the width of the n...
