TI - Tailed skyrmions—An obscure branch of magnetic solitons JO - Frontiers in physics VL - 11 SN - 2296-424X CY - Lausanne PB - Frontiers Media M1 - FZJ-2023-02868 SP - 1171079 PY - 2023 AB - We report tailed skyrmions—a new class of stable soliton solutions of the 2D chiralmagnet model. Tailed skyrmions have elongated shapes and emerge in a narrowrange of fields near the transition between the spin spirals and the saturated state.We analyze the stability range of these solutions in terms of external magnetic fieldand magnetocrystalline anisotropy. We calculate minimum energy paths andhomotopies (continuous transitions) between tailed skyrmions of the sametopological charge. The discovery of tailed skyrmions extends the diversity ofalready known solutions. This is illustrated by solitons with complex morphology,such as tailed skyrmion bags with and without chiral kinks.
