Skyrmions in the Moiré of van der Waals 2D Magnets

Skyrmions in the Moiré of van der Waals 2D Magnets

We explore the skyrmion formation and control possibilities in 2D magnets from the ubiquitous moir\'e pattern in vdW heterostructures. Using the example of a ferromagnetic monolayer on an antiferromagnetic substrate, we demonstrate a new origin of skyrmions in the 2D magnets, from the lateral modulation of interlayer magnetic coupling by …
