Edge instabilities and skyrmion creation in magnetic layers

We study both analytically and numerically the edge of two-dimensional ferromagnets with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interactions, considering both chiral magnets and magnets with interface-induced DM interactions. We show that in the field-polarized (FP) ferromagnetic phase magnon states exist which...
