Engineering skyrmions in transition-metal multilayers for spintronics
Magnetic skyrmions are localized, topologically protected spin structures that have been proposed for storing or processing information due to their intriguing dynamical and transport properties. Important in terms of applications is the recent discovery of interface stabilized skyrmions as evidenced in ultra-thin transition-metal films. However, so far only skyrmions at interfaces with a singl...
متن کاملInterlayer Exchange Coupling: A General Scheme Turning Chiral Magnets into Magnetic Multilayers Carrying Atomic-Scale Skyrmions.
We report on a general principle using interlayer exchange coupling to extend the regime of chiral magnetic films in which stable or metastable magnetic Skyrmions can appear at a zero magnetic field. We verify this concept on the basis of a first-principles model for a Mn monolayer on a W(001) substrate, a prototype chiral magnet for which the atomic-scale magnetic texture is determined by the ...
متن کاملTopological Quasiparticles: Magnetic Skyrmions
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically distinct spin textures and can be stable with quasi-particle like behavior, such that they can be manipulated with very low electric currents. This makes them interesting for extreme low-power information technologies [1], where data is envisioned to be encoded in topological charges, instead of electronic charges as in conventional semiconducting devices. U...
متن کاملDynamically stabilized magnetic skyrmions
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically non-trivial spin textures that manifest themselves as quasiparticles in ferromagnetic thin films or noncentrosymmetric bulk materials. So far attention has focused on skyrmions stabilized either by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) or by dipolar interaction, where in the latter case the excitations are known as bubble skyrmions. Here we demonstrate...
متن کاملExchange Coupling in Magnetic Multilayers
In magnetic multilayers, the magnetizations of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic spacer layer are coupled by the electrons in the spacer layer. This coupling oscillates in sign as a function of the thickness of the spacer layer. Extensive research done on these systems has led to a simple model for this coupling and remarkable agreement between predictions of the model and me...
