Skyrmion Generation by Current
arXiv:1203.0638 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.85.174416
Abstract
Skyrmions, once a hypothesized field-theoretical object believed to describe the nature of elementary particles, became common sightings in recent years among several non-centrosymmetric metallic ferromagnets. For more practical applications of Skyrmionic matter as carriers of information, thus realizing the prospect of "Skyrmionics", it is necessary to have the means to create and manipulate Skyrmions individually. We show through extensive simulation of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation that a circulating current imparted to the metallic chiral ferromagnetic system can create isolated Skyrmionic spin texture without the aid of external magnetic field.
