Abstract
Realizing effective manipulation and explicit identification of topological spin textures are two crucial ingredients to make them as information carrier in spintronic devices with high storage density, high data handling speed and low energy consumption. Electric-field manipulation of magnetism has been achieved as a dissipationless method compared with traditional regulations. However, the magnetization is normally insensitive to the electric field since it does not break time-reversal symmetry directly, and distribution of topological magnetic quasiparticles is difficult to maintain due to the drift arising from external fluctuation, which could result in ambiguous recognition between quasiparticles and uniform magnetic background. Here, we demonstrate that electric polarization-driven skyrmionic and uniform ferromagnetic states can be easily and explicitly distinguished by transverse voltage arising from anomalous valley Hall effect in the Janus magnet-based multiferroic heterostructure LaClBr/In2Se3. Our work provides an alternative approach for data encoding, in which data are encoded by combing topological spin textures with detectable electronic transport.
