Topological orbital moments can arise in non-coplanar spin structures even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling and a net topological orbital magnetization occurs for the triple-Q state and for isolated skyrmions. For atomic-scale skyrmion…

Antiferromagnetic and ferro/ferrimagnetic orders are typically exclusive in nature, thus, their co-existence in atomic-scale proximity is expected only in heterostructures. Breaking this paradigm and broadening the range of unconventional…

Experiments in the antiferromagnetic phase of a quasi 2D $S=1/2$ quasi-square lattice antiferromagnet Cu(pz)2(ClO4)2 reveal a biaxial type of the anisotropy, instead of the easy-plane one, considered before. The weak in-plane anisotropy,…
