Topologically protected swirl of the magnetic texture known as the Skyrmion has become ubiqui- tous in both metallic and insulating chiral magnets. Meanwhile the existence of its three-dimensional analogue, known as the magnetic monopole, has been suggested by various indirect experimental sig- natures in MnGe compound. Theoretically, Ginzburg-Landau arguments in favor of the formation of a three-dimensional crystal of monopoles and anti-monopoles have been put forward, however no microscopic model Hamiltonian was shown to support such a phase. Here we present strong numerical evidence from Monte Carlo simulations for the formation of a rock-salt crystal structure of monopoles and anti-monopoles in short-period chiral magnets. Real-time simulation of the spin dynamics suggests there is only one collective mode in the monopole crystal state in the frequency range of several GHz for the material parameters of MnGe.

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.

In this work, we study the magnetic orders of the classical spin model with the anisotropic exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions in order to understand the uniaxial stress effect in chiral magnets such as MnSi. Variational zero temperature (T) calculated results demonstrate that various helical orders can be developed depending on the magnitude of the interaction anisotropy, consistent with the experimental observations at low T. Furthermore, the creation and annihilation of the skyrmions by the uniaxial pressure can be also qualitatively reproduced in our Monte Carlo simulations. Thus, our work suggests that the interaction anisotropy tuned by applied uniaxial stress may play an essential role in modulating the magnetic orders in strained chiral magnets.
Weyl semimetals are three-dimensional crystalline systems where pairs of bands touch at points in momentum space, termed Weyl nodes, that are characterized by a definite topological charge: the chirality. Consequently, they exhibit the Adler-Bell-Jac kiw anomaly, which in this condensed matter realization implies that application of parallel electric ($mathbf{E}$) and magnetic ($mathbf{B}$) fields pumps electrons between nodes of opposite chirality at a rate proportional to $mathbf{E}cdotmathbf{B}$. We argue that this pumping is measurable via nonlocal transport experiments, in the limit of weak internode scattering. Specifically, we show that as a consequence of the anomaly, applying a local magnetic field parallel to an injected current induces a valley imbalance that diffuses over long distances. A probe magnetic field can then convert this imbalance into a measurable voltage drop far from source and drain. Such nonlocal transport vanishes when the injected current and magnetic field are orthogonal, and therefore serves as a test of the chiral anomaly. We further demonstrate that a similar effect should also characterize Dirac semimetals --- recently reported to have been observed in experiments --- where a pair of Weyl nodes coexisting at a single point in the Brillouin zone are protected by a crystal symmetry. Since the nodes are analogous to valley degrees of freedom in semiconductors, this suggests that valley currents in three dimensional topological semimetals can be controlled using electric fields, which has potential practical `valleytronic applications.

Chiral magnets are magnetically ordered insulators having spin scalar chirality, and magnons of chiral magnets have been poorly understood. We study the magnon dispersion and specific heat for four chiral magnets with Q=0 on the pyrochlore lattice. T his study is based on the linear-spin-wave approximation for the S=1/2 effective Hamiltonian consisting of two kinds of Heisenberg interaction and two kinds of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction. We show that the three-in-one-out type chiral magnets possess an optical branch of the magnon dispersion near q=0, in addition to three quasiacoustic branches. This differs from the all-in/all-out type chiral magnets, which possess four quasiacoustic branches. We also show that all four chiral magnets have a gapped magnon energy at q=0, indicating the absence of the Goldstone type gapless excitation. These results are useful for experimentally identifying the three-in-one-out or all-in/all-out type chiral order. Then, we show that there is no qualitative difference in the specific heat among the four magnets. This indicates that the specific heat is not useful for distinguishing the kinds of chiral orders. We finally compare our results with experiments and provide a proposal for the three-in-one-out type chiral magnets.

Magnetic skyrmions are stable topological spin textures with significant potential for spintronics applications. Merons, as half-skyrmions, have been discovered by recent observations, which have also raised the upsurge of research. The main purpose of this work is to study further the lattice forms of merons and skyrmions. We study a classical spin model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, easy-axis, and in-plane magnetic anisotropies on the honeycomb lattice via Monte Carlo simulations. This model could also describe the low-energy behaviors of a two-component bosonic model with a synthetic spin-orbit coupling in the deep Mott insulating region or two-dimensional materials with strong spin-orbit coupling. The results demonstrate the emergence of different sizes of spiral phases, skyrmion and vortex superlattice in absence of magnetic field, furthered the emergence of field-induced meron and skyrmion superlattice. In particular, we give the simulated evolution of the spin textures driven by the magnetic field, which could further reveal the effect of the magnetic field for inducing meron and skyrmion superlattice.
