New Magnetic Materials: Skyrmion-hosting Candidates

This lecture discusses the search for new magnetic materials with potential skyrmion-hosting capabilities, focusing on chiral hexagonal P6 magnetic semiconductors like PbCr₂Se4 and EuCr₂S4. The presentation covers neutron screening experiments, powder diffraction, and small-angle scattering techniques to explore the magnetic properties of materials like BaFe₂O4 and Fe7S8. The lecture also delves into the non-trivial magnetic textures observed in chiral Co-TeOg samples, highlighting the presence of multi-k textures and tetrahedral to cubic lattice transitions. Future steps involve further SANS experiments, single crystal observations, and the estimation of DMI and exchange constants.
