We show that the stability (existence/absence) and interaction (repulsion/attraction) of chiral solitons in monoaxial chiral magnets can be varied by tilting the direction of magnetic field. We, thereby, elucidate that the condensation of attractive chiral solitons causes the discontinuous phase transition predicted by a mean field calculation. Furthermore we theoretically demonstrate that the metastable field-polarized-state destabilizes through the surface instability, which is equivalent to the vanishing surface barrier for penetration of the solitons. We experimentally measure the magnetoresistance (MR) of micrometer-sized samples in the tilted fields in demagnetization-free configuration. We corroborate the scenario that hysteresis in MR is a sign for existence of the solitons, through agreement between our theory and experiments.

We present a comprehensive study of the magnetization dynamics and phase evolution in Cr$_{1/3}$NbS$_{2}$, which realizes a chiral soliton lattice (CSL). The magnetic field dependence of the ac magnetic response is analyzed for five harmonic componen ts, $M_{nomega}(H)$ $(n =1-5)$, using a phase sensitive measurement over a frequency range, $f = 11 - 10,000$ Hz. At a critical field, the modulated CSL continuously evolves from a helicity-rich to a ferromagnetic domain-rich structure, where the crossover is revealed by the onset of an anomalous nonlinear magnetic response that coincides with extremely slow dynamics. The behavior is indicative of the formation of a spatially coherent array of large ferromagnetic domains which relax on macroscopic time-scales. The frequency dependence of the ac magnetic loss displays an asymmetric distribution of relaxation times across the highly nonlinear CSL regime, which shift to shorter time-scales with increasing temperature. We experimentally resolve the tricritical point at $T_{TCP}$ in a temperature regime above the ferromagnetic Curie temperature which separates the linear and nonlinear regimes of the CSL at the phase transition. A comprehensive phase diagram is constructed which summarized the features of the field and temperature dependence of the magnetic crossovers and phase transitions in Cr$_{1/3}$NbS$_{2}$.
Chiral magnets give rise to the anti-symmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, which induces topological nontrivial textures such as magnetic skyrmions. The topology is characterized by integer values of the topological charge. In this work, we performed the Monte-Carlo calculation of a two-dimensional model of the chiral magnet. A surprising upturn of the topological charge is identified at high fields and high temperatures. This upturn is closely related to thermal fluctuations at the atomic scale, and is explained by a simple physical picture based on triangulation of the lattice. This emergent topology is also explained by a field-theoretic analysis using $CP^{1}$ formalism.

We propose a mechanism to pin skyrmions in chiral magnets by introducing local maximum of magnetic exchange strength, which can be realized in chiral magnetic thin films by engineering the local density of itinerate electrons. Thus we find a way to a rtificially control the position of a single skyrmion in chiral magnetic thin films. The stationary properties and the dynamical pinning and depinning processes of an isolated skyrmion around a pinning center are studied. We do a series of simulations to show that the critical current to depin a skyrmion has linearly dependence on the pinning strength. We also estimate the critical current to have order of magnitude 10^{7}sim10^{8}A/m^{2} .
Periodical equilibrium states of magnetization exist in chiral ferromagnetic films, if the constant of antisymmetric exchange (Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction) exceeds some critical value. Here, we demonstrate that this critical value can be signif icantly modified in curved film. The competition between symmetric and antisymmetric exchange interactions in a curved film can lead to a new type of domain wall which is inclined with respect to the cylinder axis. The wall structure is intermediate between Bloch and Neel ones. The exact analytical solutions for phase boundary curves and the new domain wall are obtained.
As novel topological phases in correlated electron systems, we have found two examples of non-ferromagnetic states that exhibit a large anomalous Hall effect. One is the chiral spin liquid compound Pr$_{2}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$, which exhibits a spontaneou s Hall effect in a spin liquid state due to spin ice correlation. The other is the chiral antiferromagnets Mn$_{3}$Sn and Mn$_{3}$Ge that exhibit a large anomalous Hall effect at room temperature. The latter shows a sign change of the anomalous Hall effect by a small change in the magnetic field by a few 100 G, which should be useful for various applications. We will discuss that the magnetic Weyl metal states are the origin for such a large anomalous Hall effect observed in both the spin liquid and antiferromagnet that possess almost no magnetization.
