Controllable highly oriented skyrmion track array in Fe3GaTe2

Magnetic skyrmions are emerging as promising candidates for next-generation information technologies, while the realization of scalable skyrmion lattices with tailored configurations is essential for advancing fundamental skyrmion physics and developing future applications. Here we achieved the controllable generation and regulation of a large-area, highly oriented skyrmion track array (STA) in ferromagnetic Fe3GaTe2 using a vector magnetic field manipulation technique. The orientation and ordering of STA, along with the types and density of skyrmions, are precisely controlled by modulating parameters during the manipulation. The critical roles of in-plane magnetic fields and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in STA generation is further confirmed by micromagnetic simulation. Our findings develop a strategy for engineering large-area and highly-oriented skyrmion configurations, offering a new pathway for the future application of next-generation spintronic and information technologies.

Cs$_4$Cr$_7$Te$_{10}$: Interwoven Reconstructed Archimedean and Kagome Lattices with a Possible Phase Transition near 130 K

Chromium-based materials with complex lattice geometries provide an important platform for investigating correlated electronic and magnetic states. However, Cr-based compounds with unusual crystal geometries are still rarely reported. Here, we report a new Cr-based compound, Cs$_4$Cr$_7$Te$_{10}$, featuring interwoven Cr and Te sublattices that can be viewed as reconstructed networks derived from Archimedean (3.4.6.4) tiling and the kagome lattice, respectively. Transport measurements reveal the semiconducting nature in Cs$_4$Cr$_7$Te$_{10}$. Magnetization measurements show a weak anisotropy between H//b and H//ac planes, and uncover an anomaly near 130 K that is insensitive to the applied magnetic fields. Specific-heat measurements further confirm this transition, indicating its bulk thermodynamic nature. The associated entropy change is as small as 0.41 J mol^-1 K^-1, ruling out a structural phase transition and pointing to a possible electronic and/or magnetic phase transition. These results provide a new route for designing complex crystal geometries and exploring their associated emergent phenomena.

Tailoring composite skyrmionic spin textures in an above-room-temperature ferromagnet Fe3-xGaTe2

Realizing room-temperature tunable skyrmionic objects in van der Waals ferromagnet offers unparalleled prospects for future spintronics. Here, we report an experimental investigation on the emergence and evolution of skyrmionic spin textures in the non-stoichiometric Fe3-xGaTe2 using magnetic force microscopy. The iron-deficiency-specific magnetic states of stripe, striped skyrmionium and striped skyrmion sack are observed. Through zero-field-cooling and field-cooling measurements, we observed distinct topological transitions and trivial transitions (distinguished by changes in topological charge) emerging during the stepwise evolution of topological spin textures, which enabled us to develop an evolution pathway model. Leveraging this model, the room-temperature stable composite topological spin textures of skyrmionium, skyrmion bag and sack states are further controllably realized via the exclusive topological-transition path (regulated by magnetic field and DMI intensity). Our work provides valuable insights into the room-temperature realization of topological spin textures in Fe3-xGaTe2, and inspires further exploration of their potential applications in heterostructure spintronics.

Real-space topology-engineering of skyrmionic spin textures in a van der Waals ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2

Realizing magnetic skyrmions in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets offers unparalleled prospects for future spintronic applications. The room-temperature ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2 provides an ideal platform for tailoring these magnetic solitons. Here, skyrmions of distinct topological charges are artificially introduced and spatially engineered using magnetic force microscopy (MFM). The skyrmion lattice is realized by specific field-cooling process, and can be further controllably erased and painted via delicate manipulation of tip stray field. The skyrmion lattice with opposite topological charges (S = +1 or -1) can be tailored at the target regions to form topological skyrmion junctions (TSJs) with specific configurations. The delicate interplay of TSJs and spin-polarized device current were finally investigated via the in-situ transport measurements, alongside the topological stability of TSJs. Our results demonstrate that Fe3GaTe2 not only serves as a potential building block for room-temperature skyrmion-based spintronic devices, but also presents promising prospects for Fe3GaTe2-based heterostructures with the engineered topological spin textures.
