| Abstract: | Magnetic multiple -Q states consisting of multiple spin density waves are a source of unconventional topo-logical spin textures, such as skyrmion and hedgehog. We theoretically investigate a topologically nontrivial double -Q state with a net spin scalar chirality on a two-dimensional square lattice. We find that a double -Q spiral superposition of the ordering wave vectors located at the Brillouin zone boundary gives rise to unconventional noncoplanar spin textures distinct from the skyrmion crystal, the latter of which is defined in the continuum limit. We show that such a double -Q state is stabilized by the interplay among the easy-axis anisotropic interaction, high-harmonic wave-vector interaction, and external magnetic field. Furthermore, the obtained double -Q state becomes a Chern insulating state with a quantum Hall conductivity when the Fermi level is located in the band gaps. Our present results provide another platform to realize topological magnetic states other than skyrmion crystals by focusing on the symmetry of constituent ordering wave vectors in momentum space. |
