Superconductivity, the ability of certain materials to conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled below a certain critical temperature, has intrigued researchers for over a century. Superconducting mechanisms and symmetries vary depending on different materials; hence, discovering superconductivity in new systems is crucial for advancing research. For instance, some materials with transition metals with 3d electron systems […]

The spins of magnetic atoms often form a spin-swirling particle-like structure and then organize themselves into a lattice. This spectacular state is known as a magnetic skyrmion lattice, which is usually a triangular lattice. The skyrmion lattice is represented by a superposition of three helimagnetic waves propagating at 120°angle from each other. Since the helimagnetic […]
