MA 10: Focus Session: Higher-Order Magnetic Interactions - Implications in 2D and 3D Magnetism I

Wednesday, September 29, 2021, 13:30–16:30, H5

Materials in which the magnetic moments order or cooperate in unusual ways underpin a plethora of physical phenomena, from strong magnetoelectric effects to topological quasiparticles, thus holding great promise for future spintronic and quantum computing applications. Magnetic interactions are the fundamental quantities that explain the complex magnetic phase diagrams and exotic excitation spectra of these intriguing materials. Recent theoretical and experimental developments have led to a realization of a pivotal role played by higher-order magnetic interactions in stabilizing intricate magnetic structures. The 4-spin 3-site interaction stabilizes an up-up-down-down state, which can become chiral. Theoretically, novel 4-spin chiral interactions and even 6-spin (chiral-chiral) couplings might explain the emergence of complex short-period 3D magnetic structures, and could open a path to the discovery of materials hosting 3D topological magnetization textures, such as magnetic hopfions. Experimentally, 4-spin interactions are conjectured to play a central role in skyrmions lattice formation in frustrated centrosymmetric materials. This area of research will make a strong impact in the field of magnetism in the upcoming years.
