| Outline of Research at the Start |
Via intensively developing new rare earth intermetallic compounds with high symmetry structure, we aim to explore topological spintextures generated by a new mechanism toward the realization of skyrmions with colossal emergent magnetic field at room-temperature in a wider range of materials.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This project aims to focus on material exploration and formation mechanism of magnetic skyrmions and other topological spin textures in intermetallics RT2SX2 "122" (R: rare-earth, T: transition metal elements). In the initial phase, we successfully synthesized several materials exhibiting intriguing features in magnetic and transport properties. An example of this is NdRu2Si2, which shows intriguing magnetic orders such as stripe single-Q state and checkerboard double-Q state under the presence of a magnetic field. Depending on the magnetic structure, non-trivial behaviors in transport properties and neutron diffraction can be observed, suggesting this material as a promising platform for investigating the interplay between topological characteristics, magnetism and transport properties.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Aligned with the goals of this project, we have successfully synthesized single crystals of various intermetallic materials with the "122" structure, which is crucial for investigating intriguing magnetic and transport properties. This effort is particularly significant as we collaborate with researchers from diverse disciplines, such as theoretical studies and neutron diffraction research. These factors contribute to the smooth progress of the current project.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
For the second phase of this project, we aim to expand the project's scope in terms of material development. Additionally, we plan to summarize the ongoing results into a comprehensive research article. Collaborating with theorists and quantum beam research scientists, we aim to delve deeper into the stabilization mechanism of these magnetic structures. Our overarching goal is to derive guiding principles for material design based on the insights gained from these investigations. This strategic approach not only broadens the project's horizons but also sets the stage for impactful contributions to the field of materials science and technology.
