We theoretically study the quantized anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) in skyrmion crystal (SkX) without external magnetic field. The emergent magnetic field in SkX could be gigantic as much as $\sim4000$T when its lattice constant is $\sim1$nm.…
Magnetic skyrmions are conventionally attributed to having zero mass. In contrast, we show that skyrmions confined to one-dimensional geometries generically acquire mass (inertia) due to the combined effects of the skyrmion Hall effect and…
We present a microscopic theory of skyrmions in the monolayer quantum Hall ferromagnet. It is a peculiar feature of the system that the number density and the spin density are entangled intrinsically as dictated by the W$%_{\infty}$…

Deformations of skyrmions arising from the presence of more than one magnetic sublattice lead to their massive dynamics in ferrimagnets as compared to the massless dynamics in 2D ferromagnets. This results in the gyroscopic motion of…
Skyrmions are topological solitons that emerge in many physical contexts. In magnetism, they appear as textures of the spin-density field stabilized by different competing interactions and characterized by a topological charge that counts…
