Creating and Manipulating Exotic Spin-and Charge-Ordered Structures in Superlattices

Abstract

The scientific objective of this program is to create and manipulate exotic spin and charge structures in epitaxial superlattices. The superlattices are comprised of juxtaposed phases with conflicting boundary conditions (electrostatic, mechanical, magnetic, or chemical potential). By better understanding these systems, we anticipate enabling their electrical control, e.g., the ability to controllably perturb the size, spin order, and even influence the transport of skyrmions through the application of an electric field.
