First Experimental Demonstration of Antiskyrmions: 3 Questions for Nikolai Kiselev

Tiny magnetic vortex structures in materials, called skyrmions, were first detected experimentally a good 10 years ago. Today, they form a basis for innovative concepts in information processing with better performance and less energy consumption. Jülich scientists, together with colleagues at RWTH Aachen University and the University of Uppsala in Sweden, have now experimentally demonstrated anti-skyrmions for the first time. Jülich theoretical physicist Dr. Nikolai Kiselev, a researcher at the Peter Grünberg Institute and the Institute for Advanced Simulations, is part of the team that succeeded in making this discovery and here explains its significance.

PGI Colloquium: Prof. Dr. Michael Bauer, Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Kiel University, Kiel, Germany

Electron-phonon interaction is one of the most fundamental quasiparticle interaction in solids governing for instance transport and thermodynamic properties of materials, but being also responsible for unconventional phenomena such as low-temperature superconductivity and the formation of charge-ordered phases. In my talk I will present and discuss two recent time- and angle resolved photoemission studies of our group in which we addressed, how electron-phonon interactions can affect electron and spin degrees of freedom on ultrafast timescales in two different types of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides.
