Fig. 5: Manipulating spin textures with a magnetic field.
From: Kagomerization of transition metal monolayers induced by two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride
a–c Spin textures in zero external magnetic field: a Bimerons in Pt/Co/h-BN; b Bimeron chain in Au/Ni/h-BN; c Spirals with trapped bimerons in Ag/Ni/h-BN. d–f Evolution of spin textures with a magnetic field, traced with the total z component of the magnetization normalized by the number of sites: d Pt/Co/h-BN; e Au/Ni/h-BN; f Ag/Ni/h-BN. We identify three regions with different colors: yellow, pink, and blue blocks indicate the regions where bimeron, skyrmion, and uniform ferromagnetism occur, respectively. The insets show examples of the corresponding magnetic states. The spins are colored as follows: red is + z, blue is − z, and gray is in-plane.
