Magnon spectrum of the helimagnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3.
Complex low-temperature-ordered states in chiral magnets are typically governed by a competition between multiple magnetic interactions. The chiral-lattice multiferroic Cu2OSeO3 became the first insulating helimagnetic material in which a long-range order of topologically stable spin vortices known as skyrmions was established. Here we employ state-of-the-art inelastic neutron scattering to com...
متن کاملUltrafast optical excitation of magnetic skyrmions
Magnetic skyrmions in an insulating chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3 were studied by all-optical spin wave spectroscopy. The spins in the conical and skyrmion phases were excited by the impulsive magnetic field from the inverse-Faraday effect, and resultant spin dynamics were detected by using time-resolved magneto-optics. Clear dispersions of the helimagnon were observed, which is accompanied by a disti...
متن کاملDriven Skyrmions and dynamical transitions in chiral magnets.
We study the dynamics of Skyrmions in chiral magnets in the presence of a spin polarized current. The motion of Skyrmions in the ferromagnetic background excites spin waves and contributes to additional damping. At a large current, the spin wave spectrum becomes gapless and Skyrmions are created dynamically from the ferromagnetic state. At an even higher current, these Skyrmions are strongly de...
متن کاملIrreversible Thermodynamics of Non-Uniform Insulating Ferromagnets
Two types of damping are commonly applied to describe ferromagnets at the macroscopic level: one by Landau and Lifshitz, and the other by Gilbert. This work successively applies the methods of irreversible thermodynamics to insulators, insulating paramagnets, and uniform insulating ferromagnets, in the last case uniquely obtaining Landau-Lifshitz damping. These methods are then applied to non-u...
متن کاملFrustration-induced insulating chiral spin state in itinerant triangular-lattice magnets.
We study the double-exchange model at half-filling with competing superexchange interactions on a triangular lattice, combining exact diagonalization and Monte Carlo methods. We find that in between the expected itinerant ferromagnetic and 120° Yafet-Kittel phases a robust scalar-chiral, insulating spin state emerges. At finite temperatures the ferromagnet-scalar-chiral quantum critical point i...
