Skyrmion-like states in two- and three-dimensional dynamical lattices.

چکیده
We construct, in discrete two-component systems with cubic nonlinearity, stable states emulating Skyrmions of the classical field theory. In the two-dimensional case, an analog of the baby Skyrmion is built on the square lattice as a discrete vortex soliton of a complex field [whose vorticity plays the role of the Skyrmion's winding number (WN)], coupled to a radial "bubble" in a real lattice field. The most compact quasi-Skyrmion on the cubic lattice is composed of a nearly planar complex-field discrete vortex and a three-dimensional real-field bubble; unlike its continuum counterpart which must have WN=2, this stable discrete state exists with WN=1. Analogs of Skyrmions in the one-dimensional lattice are also constructed. Stability regions for all these states are found in an analytical approximation and verified numerically. The dynamics of unstable discrete Skyrmions (which leads to the onset of lattice turbulence) and their partial stabilization by external potentials are explored too.

Reorientations, relaxations, metastabilities, and multidomains of skyrmion lattices
Magnetic skyrmions are nanosized topologically protected spin textures with particlelike properties. They can form lattices perpendicular to the magnetic field, and the orientation of these skyrmion lattices with respect to the crystallographic lattice is governed by spin-orbit coupling. By performing small-angle neutron scattering measurements, we investigate the coupling between the crystallo...
متن کاملDirect observation of Σ7 domain boundary core structure in magnetic skyrmion lattice
Skyrmions are topologically protected nanoscale magnetic spin entities in helical magnets. They behave like particles and tend to form hexagonal close-packed lattices, like atoms, as their stable structure. Domain boundaries in skyrmion lattices are considered to be important as they affect the dynamic properties of magnetic skyrmions. However, little is known about the fine structure of such s...
متن کاملTwo-component Dirac-like Hamiltonian for generating quantum walk on one-, two- and three-dimensional lattices
From the unitary operator used for implementing two-state discrete-time quantum walk on one-, two- and three- dimensional lattice we obtain a two-component Dirac-like Hamiltonian. In particular, using different pairs of Pauli basis as position translation states we obtain three different form of Hamiltonians for evolution on one-dimensional lattice. We extend this to two- and three-dimensional ...
متن کاملSystematics of group-nonsubgroup transitions: Square to triangle transition
A variety of structural transitions in nature do not involve a group-subgroup relationship. A two-dimensional example is the transition between a square lattice and a triangular lattice, which is known to occur in vortex lattices, Wigner crystals, skyrmion lattices, colloids, diblock copolymers, etc. A three-dimensional analog is the shock-induced BCC to HCP transition in iron. We develop a sys...
