Quantum magnetic skyrmions on Kondo-type lattices

A quantum description is given of nanoskyrmions in two-dimensional textures with localized spins and itinerant electrons, isolated or coupled to leads, in or out of equilibrium. The spin-electron exchange is treated at the mean-field level, while tensor networks and exact diagonalization or nonequil...

Description
Summary:A quantum description is given of nanoskyrmions in two-dimensional textures with localized spins and itinerant electrons, isolated or coupled to leads, in or out of equilibrium. The spin-electron exchange is treated at the mean-field level, while tensor networks and exact diagonalization or nonequilibrium Green's functions are used for localized spins and itinerant electrons. We motivate our scheme via exact and mean-field benchmarks, then show by several examples that itinerant electrons distinctly affect the properties of quantum nanoskyrmions. Finally, we mention lines of future work and improvement of the approach.
