Abstract:
Skyrmion family members, including skyrmions, merons, and skyrmioniums, have been observed in diverse physical systems, yet their coexistence and transformation within a single controllable platform remain challenging. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a bilayer twisted moiré elastic system that enables the generation of multiple skyrmion family members with different topological charges. By constructing three-dimensional displacement vector fields, we establish a framework describing the evolution of topological invariants under twist-induced symmetry modulation, thereby governing controlled transitions and the stable coexistence of different skyrmion textures. In addition, manipulating the Lamb-wave phase introduces discontinuous transport of the topological textures, thereby revealing phason-like dynamics within the quasiperiodic structure. Together, these results provide a versatile route for controlling topological textures and open new possibilities for the design of integrated topological wave devices.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
