Fig. 3: Impact of randomness and edge effect on chiral formation.
From: Driving spin chirality by electron dynamics in laser-excited antiferromagnets
a Variation of effective torque as a function of initial randomness. Inset shows the average additional energy gain due to the randomness. Grey region denotes time span for which average chirality is calculated in (b–d). Evolution of magnitude of local chirality ∣χi∣ for an initial randomness (b) 0.001, (c) 0.01, and (d) 0.1. The plots show the distribution averaged over 64 different initial configurations. The white lines show the variation of 〈∣τ∣〉 shown in (a).
