Dynamics of skyrmions in chiral magnets: Dynamic phase transitions and equation of motion

Journal Article Lin, Shi-Zeng ; Reichhardt, Charles ; Batista, Cristian D. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We study the dynamics of skyrmions in a metallic chiral magnet. First, we show that skyrmions can be created dynamically by destabilizing the ferromagnetic background state through a spin polarized current. We then treat skyrmions as rigid particles and derive the corresponding equation of motion. The dynamics of skyrmions is dominated by the Magnus force, which accounts for the weak pinning of skyrmions observed in experiments. Finally, we discuss the quantum motion of skyrmions.

Dynamics and inertia of a skyrmion in chiral magnets and interfaces: A linear response approach based on magnon excitations

Journal Article Lin, Shi-Zeng - Physical Review B

We derive the skyrmion dynamics in response to a weak external drive, taking all the magnon modes into account. A skyrmion has rotational symmetry, and the magnon modes can be characterized by an angular momentum. For a weak distortion of a skyrmion, only the magnon modes with an angular momentum | m | = 1 govern the dynamics of skyrmion topological center. We also determine that the skyrmion inertia comes by way of the magnon modes in the continuum spectrum. For a skyrmion driven by a magnetic field gradient or by a spin transfer torque generated by a current, themore »« less

Interface-Driven Chiral Magnetism in Ultrathin Metallic Ferromagnets: Towards Skyrmion Spintronics

Technical Report Beach, Geoffrey

Magnetic skyrmions are localized chiral magnetic textures in the form of nanoscale vortices or bubbles that are topologically protected from being ‘unwound’. Their topological nature gives rise to rich behaviors including ordered lattice formation, emergent electrodynamics and robust current-driven displacement at remarkably low current densities. However, magnetic skyrmions have so far been restricted to just a few materials and observed only at low temperatures, limiting the experimental accessibility and technological application of these unique topological objects. This project aimed to realize magnetic skyrmions at room temperature in a new class of engineered chiral ferromagnets that exploit broken mirror symmetry atmore »« less

Reentrant pinning, dynamic row reduction, and skyrmion accumulation for driven skyrmions in inhomogeneous pinning arrays

Journal Article Reichhardt, Charles ; Reichhardt, Cynthia Jane - Europhysics Letters (Online)

In this work, we examine the dynamics of skyrmions in systems with a region of strong pinning coexisting with a pin-free region, where the equilibrium state has a uniform skyrmion density. Under an applied drive, skyrmions accumulate in the pin-free region along the edge of the pinned region due to the skyrmion Hall effect. As the drive increases, a series of dynamical structural transitions occur in the flowing skyrmion lattice similar to those observed in the compression dynamics of crystals. These transitions correspond to reductions in the number of flowing rows of skyrmions due to the collective motion of themore »« less
