    Chirality selection in the vortex state of magnetic nanodisks with a screw dislocation
    (Les Ulis : EDP Sciences, 2014) Butenko, A.B.; Rößler, U.K.
    Structural defects in magnetic crystalline materials may locally change magnetic properties and can significantly influence the behavior of magnetic nanostructures. E.g., surface-induced Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions can strongly affect vortex structures in magnetic nanodisks causing a chirality selection. Near lattice defects, the spin-orbit interactions induce local antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange and cause effective anisotropies, which can result in spin canting. Broken inversion symmetry near a defect leads to locally chiral exchange. We present a phenomenological approach for dislocation-induced Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya couplings. As an example we investigate effects of a screw dislocation at the center of a magnetic nanodisk with a vortex state. By numerical calculations on vortex profiles we analyze equilibrium parameters of the vortex as functions of applied magnetic field and the material and geometrical parameters. It is proposed that magnetic nanodisks with defects provide a suitable experimental setting to study induced chirality by spin-orbit effects.

    Target-skyrmions and skyrmion clusters in nanowires of chiral magnets
    (Les Ulis : EDP Sciences, 2014) Leonov, A.O.; Rößler, U.K.; Mostovoy, M.
    In bulk non-centrosymmetric magnets the chiral Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange stabilizes tubular skyrmions with a reversed magnetization in their centers. While the double-twist is favorable in the center of a skyrmion, it gives rise to an excess of the energy density at the outskirt. Therefore, magnetic anisotropies are required to make skyrmions more favorable than the conical spiral in bulk materials. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that in magnetic nanowires unusual skyrmions with a doubly twisted core and a number of concentric helicoidal undulations (target-skyrmions) are thermodynamically stable even in absence of single-ion anisotropies. Such skyrmions are free of magnetic charges and carry a non-integer skyrmion charge s. This state competes with clusters of s = 1 skyrmions. For very small radii, the target-skyrmion transforms into a skyrmion with s < 1, that resembles the vortex-like state stabilized by surface-induced anisotropies.

    Crystallization of Fe82Si2B16 and Fe82Si4B14 metallic glasses upon isothermal and non-isothermal annealing
    (Les Ulis : EDP Sciences, 2011) Shpak, A.P.; Il’inskii, A.G.; Marunyak, A.V.; Slukhovskyy, O.I.; Lepeeva, Yu. V.; Dekhtyar, A.; Kaban, I.; Mattern, N.; Eckert, J.
    Crystallization of Fe82Si2B16 and Fe82Si4B14 metallic glasses upon heat treatment has been studied. The amorphous ribbons have been isothermally annealed at different temperatures (673, 693, 733 and 743 K) and for various times (from 15 min to 78 hours). Phase compositions and the sequence of their appearance in dependence on the annealing temperature and time have been established.
