Curvature stabilized skyrmions with angular momentum (1902.04881v2)
Published 13 Feb 2019 in math-ph, math.AP, and math.MP
Abstract: We examine skyrmionic field configurations on a spherical ferromagnet with large normal anisotropy. Exploiting variational concepts of angular momentum we find a new family of localized solutions to the Landau-Lifshitz equation that are topologically distinct from the ground state and not equivariant. Significantly, we observe an emergent spin-orbit coupling on the level of magnetization dynamics in a simple system without individual rotational invariance in spin and coordinate space.
