Topological spin textures emerging in magnetic materials usually appear incrystalline states. A long-standing dilemma is whether we should understandthese emergent crystals as gathering particles or coupling waves, the answer ofwhich affects almost every aspect of our understanding on the subject. Here weprove that 2-D emergent crystals with long-range order in helimagnets, such asskyrmion crystals and dipole skyrmion crystals, have a wave nature. Wesystematically study their equilibrium properties, metastability, and phasetransition path when unstable. We show that the robustness of a skyrmioncrystal derives from its metastability, and that its phase transition dynamicsat low (high) magnetic field is mediated by a soft mode which breaks(maintains) its hexagonal symmetry. Different from ordinary crystals which areformed by. and breaks into atoms, emergent crystals have a new formation(destruction) mechanism: they appear from (turn to) single-Q spin-density-wavestates through nonlinear mode-mode interactions.
