摘要
Topologically protected whirling magnetic textures could emerge as data carriers in next-generation post-Moore computing. Such textures are abundantly observed in ferromagnets (FMs); however, their antiferromagnetic (AFM) counterparts are expected to be even more relevant for device applications, as they promise ultra-fast, deflection-free dynamics whilst being robust against external fields. Unfortunately, they have remained elusive, hence identifying materials hosting such textures is key to developing this technology. Here, we present comprehensive micromagnetic and analytical models investigating topological textures in the broad material class of A-type antiferromagnets, specifically focusing on the prototypical case of α-Fe_2 O_3,an emerging candidate for AFM spintronics. By exploiting a symmetry breaking interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (iDMI), it is possible to stabilize a wide topological family, including AFM (anti)merons and bimerons and the hitherto undiscovered AFM skyrmions. Whilst iDMI enforces homochirality and improves the stability of these textures, the widely tunable anisotropy and exchange interactions enable unprecedented control of their core dimensions. We then present a unifying framework to model the scaling of texture sizes based on a simple dimensional analysis. As the parameters required to host and tune homochiral AFM textures may be obtained by rational materials design of α-Fe_2 O_3, it could emerge as a promising platform to initiate AFM topological spintronics.
