Abstract
In this paper, we study phase transitions in a magnetoelectric bilayer with two order parameters using Monte Carlo simulation. We investigate the effects of temperature, magnetoelectric coupling, and anisotropy in the multiferroic bilayer formed by a frustrated antiferromagnetic layer with Heisenberg spins and a triangular lattice ferroelectric layer. We show that magnetic frustration induces creation of skyrmions and a skyrmion lattice at moderate values of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and interface magnetoelectric coupling with adjacent ferroelectric layer. The skyrmion crystal is stable up to relatively high temperatures. The effect of anisotropy is to cause only a shift of the critical temperature without changing the type of the phase transition. The phase of the skyrmion lattice becomes more resistant and stable to temperature fluctuations in the case of a highly anisotropic frustrated film.
