Heteroclinic orbits for a system of amplitude equations for orthogonal domain walls

Using a variational method, we prove the existence of heteroclinic solutions for a 6-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations. We derive this system from the classical Benard-Rayleigh problem near the convective instability threshold. The cons ...

Numerical study of fully baffled Super-X L-mode discharges on TCV

Christian Gabriel Theiler, Davide Galassi

We present a numerical study of three fully baffled L-mode TCV discharges with three different values of the outer strike-point major radius/total flux expansion, showing that the beneficial effect of large strike point radius is partially screened in thes ...

Eight-vertex criticality in the interacting Kitaev chain

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We show that including pairing and repulsion into the description of one-dimensional spinless fermions, as in the domain wall theory of commensurate melting or the interacting Kitaev chain, leads, for strong enough repulsion, to a line of critical points i ...

Critical properties of the quantum Ashkin-Teller chain with chiral perturbations

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We investigate the nature of the phase transitions in the quantum Ashkin-Teller chain in the presence of chiral perturbations. We locate the Lifshitz line separating a region of direct chiral transitions from the region where the transition is through an i ...

Direct observation of exchange anisotropy in the helimagnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3

Arnaud Magrez, Priya Ranjan Baral, Jonathan White, Chen Luo

The helical magnetic structures of cubic chiral systems are well explained by the competition among Heisen-berg exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, cubic anisotropy, and anisotropic exchange interaction (AEI). Recently, the role of the latter has ...

Seeding and Emergence of Composite Skyrmions in a van der Waals Magnet

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard, Lukas Powalla

Topological charge plays a significant role in a range of physical systems. In particular, observations of real-space topological objects in magnetic materials have been largely limited to skyrmions - states with a unitary topological charge. Recently, mor ...

Giant switchable non thermally-activated conduction in 180 degrees domain walls in tetragonal Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Igor Stolichnov, Felix Risch

Conductive domain walls in ferroelectrics offer a promising concept of nanoelectronic circuits with 2D domain-wall channels playing roles of memristors or synoptic interconnections. However, domain wall conduction remains challenging to control and pA-rang ...

Magnetic structure of the topological semimetal Co3Sn2S2

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Jian Rui Soh

Co3Sn2S2 has recently been predicted to be a Weyl semimetal in which magnetic order is key to its behavior as a topological material. Here, we report unpolarized neutron diffraction and spherical neutron polarimetry measurements, supported by magnetization ...

Optically Triggered Neel Vector Manipulation of a Metallic Antiferromagnet Mn2Au under Strain

Alexey Sapozhnik

The absence of stray fields, their insensitivity to external magnetic fields, and ultrafast dynamics make antiferromagnets promising candidates for active elements in spintronic devices. Here, we demonstrate manipulation of the Neel vector in the metallic ...

A non-twisting flux tube for local gyrokinetic simulations
