Skyrmion formation in magnetic thin films and heterostructures
Magnetic skyrmions are small magnetic domains that are topologically non-trivial as shown schematically in Fig. 1. They are characterized by a twist of the magnetization that forms a continuous winding of the magnetization across the domain. The topology is described by a quantized and conserved winding number. The term skyrmion arises from the original work of Skyrme some fifty years ago that ...
متن کاملCurrent-induced skyrmion generation and dynamics in symmetric bilayers
Magnetic skyrmions are quasiparticle-like textures which are topologically different from other states. Their discovery in systems with broken inversion symmetry sparked the search for materials containing such magnetic phase at room temperature. Their topological properties combined with the chirality-related spin-orbit torques make them interesting objects to control the magnetization at nano...
متن کاملSkyrmions with massive pions
In the Skyrme model with massless pions, the minimal energy multi-Skyrmions are shell-like, with the baryon density localized on the edges of a polyhedron that is approximately spherical and generically of the fullerene-type. In this paper we show that in the Skyrme model with massive pions these configurations are unstable for sufficiently large baryon number. Using numerical simulations of th...
متن کاملStatic and Dynamical Properties of Antiferromagnetic Skyrmions in the Presence of Applied Current and Temperature.
Skyrmions are topologically protected entities in magnetic materials which have the potential to be used in spintronics for information storage and processing. However, Skyrmions in ferromagnets have some intrinsic difficulties which must be overcome to use them for spintronic applications, such as the inability to move straight along current. We show that Skyrmions can also be stabilized and m...
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...
