Emulating spin transport with nonlinear optics, from high-order skyrmions to the topological Hall effect

Control of effective magnetization textures like skyrmions is limited by the thermodynamic stability in current materials. Here, the authors propose a 3D nonlinear photonic crystal to emulate 2D spin transport phenomena with excellent controllability.
