It is widely admitted that the helical conformation of certain chiral molecules may induce a sizable spin selectivity observed in experiments. Spin selectivity arises as a result of the interplay between a helicity-induced spin-orbit…
We study two versions of the XY model where the spins but also the interaction topology is allowed to change. In the free XY model, the number of links is fixed, but their positions in the network are not. We also study a more relaxed…
The magnetic helicities of the cycloidal ordering in EuIrGe$_3$, with a noncentrosymmetric tetragonal structure, have been studied by circularly polarized resonant X-ray diffraction. It is shown that the helicity of each cycloidal domain is…
Motivated by the recent experiment on the size and helicity control of skyrmions in Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Ge [K. Shibata et al., Nature Nanotechnology 8, 732 (2013)], we study how the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction changes its size and…
This paper concerns two-dimensional Filippov systems --- ordinary differential equations that are discontinuous on one-dimensional switching manifolds. In the situation that a stable focus transitions to an unstable focus by colliding with…
We derive a set of equations expressing the parameters of the magnetic interactions characterizing a strongly correlated electronic system in terms of single-electron Green's functions and self-energies. This allows to establish a mapping…
The Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice is a prime example for a geometrically frustrated spin system. However most experimentally accessible compounds have spatially anisotropic exchange interactions. As a function of this anisotropy,…
B20 compounds are a class of cubic helimagnets harboring nontrivial spin textures such as spin helices and skyrmions. It has been well understood that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction is the origin of these textures, and the…
This paper delves into the origins and specificity of the unique stable spin textures (360{\deg} closed loop domain walls and skyrmions) observed in exchange-biased systems, with either in-plane or out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy. In the…
In a recent Letter [1], Wernsdorfer et al. report an experimental study of a Mn12 molecular wheel which shows essentially identical behavior to the Mn12 wheel studied by Ramsey et al. [2]. In their Letter, Wernsdorfer et al. use the same…

We explain the spin segregation seen at Duke in a two-component gas of 6Li [Du, Luo, Clancy and Thomas, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101,150401 (2008)] as a mean-field effect describable via a collisionless Boltzmann equation. As seen in experiments,…
We study the response of a two-dimensional classical XY model to a finite (non-infinitesimal) twist of the boundary conditions. We use Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the free energy difference between periodic and twisted-periodic…
We report the signatures of dynamic spin fluctuations in the layered honeycomb Li$_3$Cu$_2$SbO$_6$ compound, with a 3$d$ S = 1/2 $d^9$ Cu$^{2+}$ configuration, through muon spin rotation and relaxation ($\mu$SR) and neutron scattering…
The formation of a skyrmion crystal and its phase transition are studied taking into account the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction at the interface between a ferroelectric layer and a magnetic layer in a superlattice. The frustration…

Magnetic helices and skyrmions in noncentrosymmetric magnets are representative examples of chiral spin textures in solids. Their spin swirling direction, often termed as the magnetic helicity and defined as either left-handed or…
