Spontaneous Biskyrmion Lattice in a Centrosymmetric Rhombohedral Rare-Earth Magnet with Easy-Plane Anisotropy
Nano letters(2023)
Abstract
Magnetic skyrmion and its derivatives have demonstrated fascinating topological behaviors with potential applications in future spintronic devices. Despite the recent progress, the spontaneous skyrmion lattice and successive topological transition in the magnets with easy-plane magnetic anisotropy are still elusive especially at room temperature. Here, in a centrosymmetric rhombohedral Nd2Co17 magnet with easy-plane magnetic anisotropy, spontaneous biskyrmions are observed over a wide temperature range across room temperature, and then evolve into enclosed in-plane domains with nanometric size due to the enhancement of the planar magnetic anisotropy. The spontaneous generation of the biskyrmion lattice and its evolution along different crystal orientations demonstrate the crucial role of intrinsic bi-anisotropy and demagnetization effects. This discovery provides a fundamental insight into the nature of topological magnetic textures in easy plane anisotropy materials and suggests an arena to explore the topological states in rare-earth magnets as well as their applications in spintronics.
