Topological transitions among skyrmion- and hedgehog-lattice states in cubic chiral magnets

Abstract

Manipulating topological spin textures are demanded for future spintronic devices, but knowledge about phase transitions among different spin textures remain limited. Here, Fujishiro and Kanazawa et al. report chemical-pressure-controlled phase transitions between different topological spin textures in chiral magnets MnSi1−x Ge x .
