A reversible conversion between a skyrmion and a domain-wall pair in junction geometry
arXiv:1404.3350 · doi:10.1038/ncomms5652
Abstract
A skyrmion is a topological texture in the continuum field theory. Recent experimental observation of skyrmions in chiral magnet evokes a flourish of its extensive study. Skyrmion is expected to be a key component of the next generation spintronics device called skyrmionics. On the other hand, there is a well established memory device encoded by a sequence of domain walls. A skyrmion carries a topological number, whereas a domain wall does not. Nevertheless, we show a conversion is possible between a skyrmion and a domain-wall pair by connecting wide and narrow nanowires, enabling the information transmission between skyrmion device and domain-wall device. Our results will be the basis of a hybrid device made of skyrmions and domain walls, where the encoded information in domain walls is converted into skyrmions, and then read out by converting the skyrmions back to domain walls after a functional control of the skyrmions.
