Strain and electric field control of magnetic skyrmions in Fe3GeTe2 van der Waals heterostructures — •Dongzhe Li1, Soumyajyoti Haldar2, and Stefan Heinze21CEMES, Université de Toulouse, CNRS, 29 rue Jeanne Marvig, F-31055 Toulouse, France — 2Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, University of Kiel, Leibnizstrasse 15, 24098 Kiel, Germany

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected chiral spin structures with particle-like properties, which are often induced by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). The recent discovery of truly two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials opened up new opportunities for exploring magnetic skyrmions in atomically thin vdW materials. Here, using density functional theory and atomistic spin simulations, we predict the emergence of a large DMI in 2D vdW heterostructures where a 2D ferromagnetic metal Fe3GeTe2 monolayer is deposited on a nonmagnetic vdW layer. In particular, the DMI turns out to be highly tunable by strain and electric-field, leading to giant DMI comparable to that of ferromagnetic/heavy metal interfaces, which have been recognized as prototype multilayer systems to host skyrmion states. Our atomistic spin simulations further show that the efficient control of the DMI, the exchange coupling, and the magnetic anisotropy energy by strain, lead to the stabilization of isolated skyrmions.
