Electric-field control of collective spin excitations in Neel-type skyrmions

Abstract
We demonstrate that an electric field could activate the three low-energy eigenmodes of the Neel-type skyrmion lattice via the electrically induced Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. In particular, we predict that the relative intensity of the clockwise rotation mode against the counter-clockwise rotation mode is significantly enhanced for the electrical activation in comparison with the magnetic activation. We also discover that the electrically and magnetically active modes obey unique selection rules. These findings promise a fresh pathway towards energy-efficient electrical manipulation of skyrmion excitations for future skyrmion-based magnonics.
