On quantifying the topological charge in micromagnetics using a lattice-based approach

Abstract

An implementation of a lattice-based approach for computing the topological skyrmion charge is provided for the open source micromagnetics code MuMax3. Its accuracy with respect to an existing method based on finite difference derivatives is compared for three different test cases. The lattice-based approach is found to be more robust for finite-temperature dynamics and for nucleation and annihilation processes in extended systems.
