In general, quantum fluctuations are suppressed in ferromagnetic materials because they admit a simple unfrustrated ground state, greatly limiting the scope of phenomena that can be observed in these materials. In this work, we show how…
We analyze instabilities of the collinear up-up-down state of a two-dimensional quantum spin-S spatially anisotropic triangular lattice antiferromagnet in a magnetic field. We find, within large-S approximation, that near the end point of…

We study the spin-1/2 XX model extended with three-spin interactions of the XZX+YZY and XZY-YZX types. We solve the model exactly and obtain the ground state phase diagram as a function of the two three-spin coupling strengths. We show that…
A new topological excitation called skyrmion has been observed experimentally in chiral magnets without spatial inversion symmetry. The dynamics of a skyrmion is equivalent to an electron moving in a strong magnetic field. As a skyrmion…
