Abstract:
Conventional antiferroelectric states generally suppress the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and enable skyrmion erasure by restoring inversion symmetry. However, noncentrosymmetric antiferroelectric states preserve broken inversion symmetry, offering an additional dimension for manipulating DMI and topological magnetic phases. Here, combining first-principles calculations with atomistic simulations, we demonstrate polarization-driven reconstruction of the DMI vector field and topological magnetic phases in monolayer CuCrP2Se6. FEu-AFE-FEd polarization switching enables the evolution of a uniform DMI into an anisotropic DMI vector field by reconstructing the lattice symmetry, thereby achieving reversible control between topologically nontrivial skyrmions and topologically trivial magnetic bubbles. These findings establish DMI vector-field reconstruction in noncentrosymmetric AFE states as a mechanism for engineering magnetic topology beyond conventional DMI reversal (D → -D) or suppression (D → 0).

Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
