Controlling bimerons as skyrmion analogues by ferroelectric polarization in 2D van der Waals multiferroic heterostructures
Electrical control of topological spin textures is a major goal of spintronics. Here, the authors combine LaCl, a ferromagnet, and In2Se3, a ferroelectric, to create a multiferroic heterostructure, where bimerons, a topological spin-texture, can be created and annihilated by ferroelectric switching.
