Here we show that the zero point energy associated to the quantum spin fluctuations of a non- collinear spin texture produce Casimir-like magnetic fields. We study the effect of these Casimir fields on the topologically protected…
The Casimir effect is a general phenomenon in physics, which arises when the vacuum fluctuation of an arbitrary field is modified by static or slowly varying boundary. However, its spin version is rarely addressed, mainly due to the fact…
