Inducing Topological Magnetic Structures in Layered Shanbites through Symmetry Breaking by Doping

This study investigates the induction of topological magnetic structures in layered shanbites by introducing dopants to break symmetry and manipulate magnetic properties. Employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations and micromagnetic simulations, we examine how specific doping elements integrated into the shanbite structure can alter electronic and magnetic interactions, thereby enabling the formation of skyrmions and other non-trivial topological textures. Our DFT analysis identifies critical changes in electronic band structures and spin textures resulting from symmetry breaking, which are essential for stabilizing topological phases. Micromagnetic simulations further explore the dynamics and stability of induced magnetic textures under external magnetic fields, illustrating the potential of doped layered shanbites for robust topological magnetic storage and spintronic applications. The findings not only underscore the importance of targeted doping strategies but also open new avenues for designing materials with enhanced topological magnetic functionalities by carefully controlling symmetry and magnetic anisotropy
