Alternative to Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction for monolayer Fe₃GeTe₂ and other two-dimensional ferromagnets with trigonal prismatic symmetry — •Ivan Ado^1,2, Gulnaz Rakhmanova³, Dmitry Zezyulin³, Ivan Iorsh³, and Misha Titov¹ — ¹Radboud University, Institute for Molecules and Materials, 6525 AJ Nijmegen, The Netherlands — ²Institute for Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University, 3584 CC Utrecht, The Netherlands — ³ITMO University, Faculty of Physics, Saint-Petersburg, Russia

Our work reveals a new potential source of noncollinear magnetic textures in a certain class of two-dimensional ferromagnets. Namely, in those that are described by the trigonal prismatic symmetry (point group D_3h): monolayer Fe₃GeTe₂, some transition metal dichalcogenides, and others. It is known that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction does not contribute to the free energy density in such systems. We find that there exists a single (!) fourth order "chiral" contribution beyond the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction compatible with D_3h (if boundary effects are neglected). We study whether it is consistent with recent experiments on Fe₃GeTe₂. We also find that this contribution might stabilize bimerons – the in-plane analog of skyrmions. Surprisingly, we were even able to estimate the radius of such bimerons analytically.
