Abstract
We report our theoretical results on the emergence of rectangular- and square-shaped magnetic skyrmion crystals on a centrosymmetric square lattice with magnetic anisotropy. By performing the simulated annealing for a frustrated spin model with an easy-axis single-ion anisotropy on a square lattice, we find that a competition of the interactions in momentum space gives rise to the formation of two skyrmion crystals, where the skyrmion cores are aligned in a rectangle- or square-lattice way. Especially, the interactions at the higher harmonic wave vectors play an important role in stabilizing the square/rectangular skyrmion crystals. Our results provide a reference to explore further skyrmion-hosting materials in centrosymmetric tetragonal systems.
