Comment on "Skyrmion Hall Effect in Altermagnets"

Nicolai Timon Bechler, Jan Masell

In their Letter, Jin et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 196701 (2024)] predict a transverse velocity for skyrmions driven by spin-transfer torque (STT), known as skyrmion Hall eff…

Simulating altermagnets using mumax+

Lars Moreels, Nicolai Bechler, Bartel Van Waeyenberge +2

In this paper, we demonstrate how altermagnets can be simulated in the recently released micromagnetic simulation package mumax+. We have added a new magnet class for d-wave alterm…

Current-induced H-shaped-skyrmion creation and their dynamics in the helical phase

Ross Knapman, Davi R. Rodrigues, Jan Masell +1

Inevitable for the basic principles of skyrmion racetrack-like applications is not only their confined motion along one-dimensional channels but also their controlled creation and…

Current-Induced Dynamics of Chiral Magnetic Structures: Creation, Motion, and Applications

Jan Masell, Karin Everschor-Sitte

Magnetic textures can be manipulated by electric currents via the mechanisms of spin-transfer and spin-orbit-torques. We review how these torques can be exploited to create chiral…

Spin-transfer torque-driven motion, deformation, and instabilities of magnetic skyrmions at high currents

Jan Masell, Davi R. Rodrigues, Ben F. McKeever +1

In chiral magnets, localized topological magnetic whirls, magnetic skyrmions, can be moved by spin polarized electric currents. Upon increasing the current strength, with prospects…

Quantum skyrmions in frustrated ferromagnets

Vivek Lohani, Ciarán Hickey, Jan Masell +1

We develop a quantum theory of magnetic skyrmions and antiskyrmions in a spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnet with frustrating next-nearest neighbor interactions. Using exact diagonalization…
