    Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2016 Oct 07; 117(15):157205. PubMed ID: 27768339.
    Abstract:
    We determined the parameters of a classical spin Hamiltonian describing an Fe monolayer on Pd(111) surface with a Pt_{1-x}Ir_{x} alloy overlayer from ab initio calculations. While the ground state of the system is ferromagnetic for x=0.00, it becomes a spin spiral state as Ir is intermixed into the overlayer. Although the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction is present in the system, we will demonstrate that the frustrated isotropic exchange interactions play a prominent role in creating the spin spiral state, and these frustrated couplings lead to an attractive interaction between Skyrmions at short distances. Using spin dynamics simulations, we show that under these conditions the individual Skyrmions form clusters, and that these clusters remain stable at finite temperature.
