A superposition of spin helices can yield topological spin textures, such as skyrmion and hedgehog lattices. Based on the analogy with the moire in optics, we study the magnetic and topological properties of such superpositions in a comprehensive way by modulating the interference pattern continuously. We find that the control of the angles between the superposed helices and the net magnetization yields successive topological transitions associated with pair annihilation of hedgehogs and antihedgehogs. Accordingly, emergent electromagnetic fields, magnetic monopoles and antimonopoles, and Dirac strings arising from the noncoplanar spin textures show systematic evolution. In addition, we also show how the system undergoes the magnetic transitions with dimensional reduction from the three-dimensional hedgehog lattice to a two-dimensional skyrmion lattice or a one-dimensional conical state. The results indicate that the concept of spin moir{e} provides an efficient way of engineering the emergent electromagnetism and topological nature in magnets.

The skyrmion crystal (SkX) characterized by a multiple-q helical spin modulation has been reported as a unique topological state that competes with the single-q helimagnetic order in non-centrosymmetric materials. Here we report the discovery of a rich variety of multiple-q helimagnetic spin structures in the centrosymmetric cubic perovskite SrFeO3. On the basis of neutron diffraction measurements, we have identified two types of robust multiple-q topological spin structures that appear in the absence of external magnetic fields: an anisotropic double-q spin spiral and an isotropic quadruple-q spiral hosting a three-dimensional lattice of hedgehog singularities. The present system not only diversifies the family of SkX host materials, but furthermore provides an experimental missing link between centrosymmetric lattices and topological helimagnetic order. It also offers perspectives for integration of SkXs into oxide electronic devices.
Emergent electromagnetic induction based on electrodynamics of noncollinear spin states may enable dramatic miniaturization of inductor elements widely used in electric circuits, yet many issues are to be solved toward application. One such problem is how to increase working temperature. We report the large emergent electromagnetic induction achieved around and above room temperature based on short-period ($leq$ 3 nm) spin-spiral states of a metallic helimagnet ${rm YMn}_{6}{rm Sn}_{6}$. The observed inductance value $L$ and its sign are observed to vary to a large extent, depending not only on the spin helix structure controlled by temperature and magnetic field but also on the current density. The present finding on room-temperature operation and possible sign control of $L$ may provide a new step toward realizing microscale quantum inductors.
A moir{e} system is formed when two periodic structures have a slightly mismatched period, resulting in unusual strongly correlated states in the presence of particle-particle interactions. The periodic structures can arise from the intrinsic crystalline order and periodic external field. We investigate a one-dimensional Hubbard models with periodic on-site potential of period $n_{0}$, which is commensurate to the lattice constant. For large $% n_{0}$, exact solution demonstrates that there is a midgap flat band with zero energy in the absence of Hubbard interaction. Each moir{e} unit cell contributes two zero energy levels to the flat band. In the presence of Hubbard interaction, the midgap physics is demonstrated to be well described by a uniform Hubbard chain, in which the effective hopping and on-site interaction strength, can be controlled by the amplitude and period of the external field. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the correlated behaviors in the finite-sized moir{e} Hubbard system, including the existence of $eta $-pairing state, and bound pair oscillation. This finding provides a method to enhance the correlated effect by a spatially periodic external field.
The recently proposed theoretical concept of a Hunds metal is regarded as a key to explain the exotic magnetic and electronic behavior occuring in the strongly correlated electron systems of multiorbital metallic materials. However, a tuning of the abundance of parameters, that determine these systems, is experimentally challenging. Here, we investigate the smallest possible realization of a Hunds metal, a Hunds impurity, realized by a single magnetic impurity strongly hybridized to a metallic substrate. We experimentally control all relevant parameters including magnetic anisotropy and hybridization by hydrogenation with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and thereby tune it through a regime from emergent magnetic moments into a multi-orbital Kondo state. Our comparison of the measured temperature and magnetic field dependent spectral functions to advanced many-body theories will give relevant input for their application to non-Fermi liquid transport, complex magnetic order, or unconventional superconductivity.
Gapless Luttinger liquid is conventionally viewed as topologically trivial, unless it hosts degenerate ground states and or entanglement spectrum, which necessitates partial bulk degree of freedom to be gapped out. Here we predict an emergent gapless topological Luttinger liquid which is beyond the conventional scenarios and is characterized by the nontrivial many-body bulk spin texture, and propose feasible scheme for experimental observation. We consider a one-dimensional spin-orbit coupled Fermi-Hubbard model with fractional filling, whose low-energy physics is effectively described by a spinless Luttinger liquid and is trivial in the conventional characterization. We show that, as being tuned by the filling factor and interaction strength, the many-body ground state may exhibit nontrivial winding in its bulk spin texture in the projected momentum space, manifesting an emergent topological phase. A topological transition occurs when the projected spin-state at a high symmetry momentum becomes fully mixed one, resulting from competing processes of particle scattering to the lower and higher subbands, for which the spin texture at such momentum point is ill-defined, but the Luttinger liquid keeps gapless through the transition. Surprisingly, at relatively small filling the Luttinger liquid remains topologically nontrivial even at infinitely strong interaction. The results can be generalized to finite temperature which facilitates the real experimental detection. This work shows a novel gapless topological Luttinger liquid whose characterization is beyond the low-energy effective theory, and can be verified based on current experiments.
