Topological constraints on positions of magnetic solitons in multiply-connected planar magnetic nano-elements
arXiv:1609.02509 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.95.024403
Abstract
Here we consider an interplay between the topology of the magnetization texture (which is a topological soliton, or Skyrmion) in a planar magnetic nano-element and the topology of the element itself (its connectivity). We establish the existence of a set of constraints, coupling these topologies, which are specific for multiply connected elements and are absent in simply-connected case. As an example, a specific constraint is derived for a case of planar ring magnet, relating the angular positions of magnetic vortices and antivortices inside. We analyze the recent experimental data on the vortex magnetic domain walls in the ring to validate our findings.
