Light-induced bimerons in a chiral magnet

thin plates at room temperature. Magnetic imaging and micromagnetic simulations reveal that bimeron density varies with applied magnetic field strength, enabling dynamic topological control. We further establish that the topological classification of laser-generated bimerons is invariant with specimen thickness. Field-driven reversible transformations between elongated and circular bimeron morphologies are observed, governed by the competition of Zeeman energy and magnetic shape anisotropy. Micromagnetic simulations quantitatively reproduce these metastable states, validating a unified meron-skyrmion topological framework. This work establishes a single-pulse protocol for optical manipulation of topological spin textures.

Abstract

thin plates at room temperature. Magnetic imaging and micromagnetic simulations reveal that bimeron density varies with applied magnetic field strength, enabling dynamic topological control. We further establish that the topological classification of laser-generated bimerons is invariant with specimen thickness. Field-driven reversible transformations between elongated and circular bimeron morphologies are observed, governed by the competition of Zeeman energy and magnetic shape anisotropy. Micromagnetic simulations quantitatively reproduce these metastable states, validating a unified meron-skyrmion topological framework. This work establishes a single-pulse protocol for optical manipulation of topological spin textures.
