Numerical Study of Multiple Helical Spin Density Waves and Vortex Spin Structures in Itinerant Electron System

Multiple spin density waves and related vortex-type magnetic structures in the itinerant electron system with inversion symmetry have been investigated on the basis of the Hubbard model and the generalized Hartree-Fock approximation combined with the recursion method. Possible magnetic phase diagram on the fcc lattice is presented in the space of the Coulomb interaction strength and the electron occupation number. It is found that the 2Q multiple helical spin density waves (SDW) with half-skyrmion half-antiskyrmion paired structure, the 3Q multiple helical SDW with 3 dimensional type vortex structure, the 4Q multiple SDW with partially ordered state, and a new type of 12Q multiple SDW showing both the half-skyrmion-type vortex structure and the partially ordered state can be stabilized around the Stoner instability line. The stability of their structures is explained on the basis of their electronic structures.
