Double-$Q$ Chiral Stripe in the $d$-$p$ Model with Strong Spin-Charge Coupling

Abstract

We investigate the stability of multiple-$Q$ spiral states in $d$-$p$ electron systems with the strong spin-charge coupling. By using variational calculations on a square lattice, we find that the double-$Q$ state with the scalar chirality density wave, which has been studied in the weak spin-charge coupling regime, becomes the ground state even in the strong spin-charge coupling regime by considering the effect of the $d$-$p$ hybridization. We also show that the regions where the double-$Q$ state is stabilized are widely extended for introducing the antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction between nearest-neighbor localized spins.
