| contents | Magnetic skyrmions with its topologically protected, nano-sized spin textures have already earned immense fame as information carriers due to their stability and low-current mobility. While ferromagnetic skyrmions suffer from a transverse deflection (i.e., the skyrmion Hall effect), their anti-ferromagnetic counterparts promise straight-line motion and ultrafast dynamics. Here we present a numerical study of the dynamics of lattice-based antiferromagnetic skyrmions driven by spin-transfer torque for which the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski (LLGS) equation is solved using a fourth-order Range-Kutta integration. Then we conduct a detailed Monte Carlo study of the two-dimensional classical XY model to quantify how spatial anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) coupling reshape its thermal response across multiple lattice sizes. By tuning the ratio Jy/Jx, we document a systematic evolution of the specific-heat anomaly. For example, in the quasi-one-dimensional limit, CV exhibits a broad, low-temperature hump, whereas stronger anisotropy yields sharper peaks that migrate to higher inverse temperature. Finite-size scaling confirms the crossover from quasi-1D fluctuations to a two-dimensional Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. Incorporating a DM interaction further enriches this landscape. At D/J = 0.1, the main peak shifts modestly upward and is slightly suppressed; raising D/J elevates the peak magnitudes and creates a pronounced low-temperature plateau. This residual CV signals enduring chiral excitations and complex spin-twist textures beyond simple vortex unbinding. Our findings chart how directional and chiral couplings can be harnessed to tune pseudo-critical temperatures and thermodynamic signatures in two-dimensional magnets, providing a practical blueprint for engineering topological spin systems. |
