Title: Tailed skyrmions -- an obscure branch of magnetic solitons
(Submitted on 1 Mar 2023)
Abstract: We report tailed skyrmions -- a new class of stable soliton solutions of the 2D chiral magnet model. Tailed skyrmions have elongated shapes and emerge in a narrow range of fields near the transition between the spin spirals and the saturated state. We analyze the stability range of these solutions in terms of external magnetic field and magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Minimum energy paths and the homotopies (continuous transitions) between tailed skyrmions of the same topological charge have been calculated using the geodesic nudged elastic bands method. The discovery of tailed skyrmions extends the diversity of already-known solutions illustrated by complex morphology solitons, such as tailed skyrmion bags with and without chiral kinks.
