Slowdown of photoexcited spin dynamics in the non-collinear spin-ordered phases in skyrmion host GaV4S8

Skyrmions are a topological magnetic texture that have garnered considerable interest for various technological applications. Here, Sekiguchi et al. investigate the ultrafast optical response of GaV4S6, and find a significant reduction in the thermal conductivity in the skyrmion phase.
