Meron configurations in easy-plane chiral magnets
Meron configurations in easy-plane chiral magnets
We demonstrate the existence and study in detail the features of chiral bimerons which are static solutions in an easy-plane magnet with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. These are skyrmionic textures with an integer topological charge, and they present essential analogies to the meron configurations introduced in the context of quark confinement …
