Isorotating baby Skyrmions [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2013
We discuss how internal rotation with fixed angular frequency can affect the solitons in the baby Skyrme model in which the global O(3) symmetry is broken to the SO(2). Two particular choices of the potential term are considered, the "old" potential and the "new" double vacuum potential, We do not impose any assumptions about the symmetry on the fields.

Manipulating Ferroelectricity Without Electrical Bias: A Perspective

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Alternatives to electrical bias to control ferroelectric polarization are highly desired for the development of ferroelectric‐based applications. The polarizing role of chemically engineered surfaces, the impact of chemical substitution and mechanical pressure, and light‐induced effects on the final polarization state are highlighted in this short ...

Entropy‐Driven Innovations: Entropy Stabilized Oxides for High‐Performance Next‐Generation Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This article explores high‐entropy‐stabilized oxides (HEOs) as novel functional materials for addressing critical issues in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries, including lithium polysulfide (LPS) shuttling, inadequate conductivity, and slow redox kinetics.

Generation of Optical Quasiparticles with Spin–Orbit Conversion in a Single Q‐Plate

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Spin‐Orbit conversion approach with a q‐plate for generating optical quasiparticles. ABSTRACT In this work, we detail a novel approach which can be used for the generation of optical quasiparticles. This process leverages both spin‐orbit conversion control with wavelength de‐tuning in a commercially available q‐plate.

Fractional Skyrmion Tubes in Chiral‐Interfaced 3D Magnetic Nanowires

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
In chiral 3D helical magnetic nanowires, the coupling between the geometric and magnetic chirality provides a way to create topological spin states like vortex tubes. Here, it is demonstrated how the breaking of this coupling in interfaced 3D nanowires of opposite chirality leads to even more complex topological spin states, such as fractional ...

Exploiting Two‐Photon Lithography, Deposition, and Processing to Realize Complex 3D Magnetic Nanostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
Two‐photon lithography (TPL) enables 3D magnetic nanostructures with unmatched freedom in geometry and material choice. Advances in voxel control, deposition, and functionalization open pathways to artificial spin ices, racetracks, microrobots, and a number of additional technological applications.

Thickness‐Dependent Skyrmion Evolution in Fe3GeTe2 During Magnetization Reversal

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 18, 2 March 2026.
Thickness‐ and field‐dependent magnetic domain behavior in 2D van der Waals Fe3GeTe2 is studied using Lorentz TEM and micromagnetic simulations. A patch‐like domain phase evolves from skyrmions during magnetization reversal, and step edges between thickness regions act as pinning sites.

Emergent Freestanding Complex Oxide Membranes for Multifunctional Applications

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.
This review surveys freestanding oxide membranes and covers fabrication and three pathways for studies and devices: strain‐free and strained membranes, and van der Waals‐integrated heterostructures. We show how coupled oxide responses map onto these routes and cross‐couple to expand behaviors.

Compact baby Skyrmions

Physical Review D, 2009
For the baby Skyrme model with a specific potential, compacton solutions, i.e., configurations with a compact support and parabolic approach to the vacuum, are derived. Specifically, in the non-topological sector, we find spinning Q-balls and Q-shells, as well as peakons.
