Pinning Effects of Exchange and Magnetocrystalline Anisotropies on Skyrmion Lattice
Reorientation of skyrmion crystal (SkX) with respect to crystallographic axes is believed to be insensitive to anisotropies of fourth order in spin-orbit coupling, for which sixth order terms are considered for explanation. Here, we show that this is wrong due to an oversimplified assumption that Sk...
