Noncollinear spin textures and 90{deg} domain walls in twisted XY magnets
read the original abstract
Twisted moir\'e magnets are promising in exploring noncollinear magnetic phases, yet current experimental studies have been restricted to uniaxial magnets, limiting the accessible phase space. Here, we demonstrate noncollinear moir\'e magnetism based on XY magnet CrCl3. The tunneling magnetoconductance of twisted CrCl3 exhibits multiple field-driven transitions in small-twist-angle devices, attributed to the coexisting antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic domains with distinct susceptibilities. The inferred spin configuration depends on the layer number, reflecting the interlayer coupling strength between twisted layers. This moir\'e magnetism is remarkably robust, persisting up to twisted double nine-layer stacks. Combined with micromagnetic simulations, we identify the ground state as the predicted "twisted-s" phase featuring 90{\deg} domain walls. Finally, we demonstrate voltage control of these noncollinear phases, highlighting the electrically tunable twist-spintronics.
