Topological magnetic textures in magnetic topological insulators

The surfaces of intrinsic magnetic topological insulators (TIs) host magnetic moments exchange-coupled to Dirac electrons. We study the magnetic phases arising from tuning the electron density using variational and exact diagonalization approaches. In the dilute limit, we find that magnetic skyrmion...
