TY - JOUR AU - Kuchkin, Vladyslav M. AU - Kiselev, Nikolai S. TI - Skyrmions and antiskyrmions in monoaxial chiral magnets JO - Physical review / B VL - 108 IS - 5 SN - 2469-9950 CY - Woodbury, NY PB - Inst. M1 - FZJ-2024-02841 SP - 054426 PY - 2023 AB - We show that competition between local interactions in monoaxial chiral magnets provides the stability of two-dimensional solitons with identical energies but opposite topological charges. These skyrmions and antiskyrmions represent metastable states in a wide range of parameters above the transition into the saturated ferromagnetic phase. The symmetry of the underlying micromagnetic functional gives rise to soliton zero modes allowing efficient control of their translational movement by the frequency of the circulating external magnetic field. We also discuss the role of demagnetizing fields in the energy balance between skyrmions and antiskyrmions and in their stability.
