The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is of great interest as it can stabilize chiral spin structures in thin films. Experiments verifying the orientation of the interfacial DMI vector remain rare, in part due to the…
We propose a mechanism in which, using an eightbrane, a sixbrane ends on a NS brane in type IIA superstring theory. We use this mechanism to construct N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions with chiral matter localized in…
Since the discovery of ferromagnetic two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) crystals, significant interest on such 2D magnets has emerged, inspired by their appealing properties and integration with other 2D family for unique…
The stabilization of chiral magnetic spin-structures in thin films is often attributed to the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Very recently, however, it has been reported that the chirality induced by the DMI can be…
Recent experiments on the Kagome spin liquid candidate YCOB suggest the presence of Dirac fermionic spinons near the magnetization plateau at 1/9. Theories suggest that the spinons are charge neutral spin-$1/2$ excitations, in a $2\pi/3$…
Frustrated triangular molecule magnets such as \{Cu$_3$\} are characterized by two degenerate S=1/2 ground-states with opposite chirality. Recently it has been proposed theoretically [PRL {\bf 101}, 217201 (2008)] and verified by {\it…

Chiral magnetic skyrmions are topological solitons, of significant physical interest, arising in ferromagnets described by a micromagnetic energy including a chiral (Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya) interaction term. We show that for small chiral…

We consider Hanany-Witten setups of 3- and 5-branes in type IIB string theory that realize N=(1,0),(2,0) and (1,1) gauged WZW models in 1+1 dimensions. The gauged WZW models arise as theories residing on the boundary of D3 branes ending on…

We theoretically study the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) mediated by band electrons with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We first derive a general formula for the coefficient ${\bm D}_i$ of the DMI in free energy in terms of…
We review the construction of chiral four-dimensional compactifications of type IIA string theory with intersecting D6-branes. Such models lead to four-dimensional theories with non-abelian gauge interactions and charged chiral fermions. We…
