Inertia and chiral edge modes of a Skyrmion magnetic bubble.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamics of a vortex in a thin-film ferromagnet resembles the motion of a charged massless particle in a uniform magnetic field. Similar dynamics is expected for other magnetic textures with a nonzero Skyrmion number. However, recent numerical simulations reveal that Skyrmion magnetic bubbles show significant deviations from this model. We show that a Skyrmion bubble possesses inertia and derive its mass from the standard theory of a thin-film ferromagnet. In addition to center-of-mass motion, other low energy modes are waves on the edge of the bubble traveling with different speeds in opposite directions.

Skyrmion-Skyrmion and Skyrmion-Edge Attractions in Nanostructured Chiral Magnets Authors’ Names:
Magnetic skyrmion, a particle-like topological stable magnetic whirl, hold great promise as an information carrier to build next generation’s high performant memory device in nanostructured chiral magnets. In this scheme, one of the key questions involves the interactions of skyrmion-skyrmion and skyrmion-edge, which governs the ultimate storage density and energy consumption. It has generally ...
متن کاملUltrafast optical excitation of magnetic skyrmions
Magnetic skyrmions in an insulating chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3 were studied by all-optical spin wave spectroscopy. The spins in the conical and skyrmion phases were excited by the impulsive magnetic field from the inverse-Faraday effect, and resultant spin dynamics were detected by using time-resolved magneto-optics. Clear dispersions of the helimagnon were observed, which is accompanied by a disti...

We report the observation of a Skyrmion lattice in the chiral multiferroic insulator Cu2OSeO3 using Cu L3-edge resonant soft x-ray diffraction. We observe the unexpected existence of two distinct Skyrmion sublattices that arise from inequivalent Cu sites with chemically identical coordination numbers but different magnetically active orbitals. The Skyrmion sublattices are rotated with respect t...
متن کاملEdge states and skyrmion dynamics in nanostripes of frustrated magnets
Magnetic skyrmions are particle-like topological excitations recently discovered in chiral magnets. Their small size, topological protection and the ease with which they can be manipulated by electric currents generated much interest in using skyrmions for information storage and processing. Recently, it was suggested that skyrmions with additional degrees of freedom can exist in magnetically f...
متن کاملSkyrmion lattice in a chiral magnet.
Skyrmions represent topologically stable field configurations with particle-like properties. We used neutron scattering to observe the spontaneous formation of a two-dimensional lattice of skyrmion lines, a type of magnetic vortex, in the chiral itinerant-electron magnet MnSi. The skyrmion lattice stabilizes at the border between paramagnetism and long-range helimagnetic order perpendicular to ...
