Chiral Damping-Induced Chirality Switching and Control of Domain Walls in Antiferromagnets

Collins Ashu Akosa, Mu-Kun Lee, Aurélien Manchon +1

We investigate the impact of chiral damping (CD) on current-driven domain-wall (DW) dynamics in antiferromagnets (AFMs). Asymmetric CD between sublattices generates off-diagonal co…

Pseudo Electric Field and Pumping Valley Current in Graphene Nano-bubbles

Naif Hadadi, Adel Belayadi, Ahmed AlRabiah +6

The extremely high pseudo-magnetic field emerging in strained graphene suggests that an oscillating nano-deformation will induce a very high current even without electric bias. In…

Pair emission from a relativistic domain wall in antiferromagnets

Gen Tatara, Collins Ashu Akosa, Rubén M. Otxoa de Zuazola

Magnon emission and excitation by a relativistic domain wall at a constant velocity in antiferromagnet is theoretically studied. A pair emission due to a quadratic magnon coupling…

Topological Hall signatures of magnetic hopfions

Börge Göbel, Collins Ashu Akosa, Gen Tatara +1

Magnetic hopfions are topologically protected three-dimensional solitons that are constituted by a tube which exhibits a topologically nontrivial spin texture in the cross-section…

Tuning skyrmion Hall effect via engineering of spin-orbit interaction

C. A. Akosa, H. Li, G. Tatara +1

We demonstrate that the Magnus force acting on magnetic skyrmions can be efficiently tuned via modulation of the spin-orbit interaction strength. We show that the skyrmion Hall eff…

Current-driven nucleation and propagation of antiferromagnetic skyrmionium

S. A. Obadero, Y. Yamane, C. A. Akosa +1

We present a theoretical study on nucleation and propagation of antiferromagnetic skyrmionium induced by spin current injection. A skyrmionium, also known as 2π skyrmion, is a vort…

Theory of chiral effects in magnetic textures with spin-orbit coupling

C. A. Akosa, A. Takeuchi, Z. Yuan +1

We present a theoretical study of two-dimensional spatially and temporally varying magnetic textures in the presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of both the Rashba and Dresselhaus…

Intrinsic non-adiabatic topological torque in magnetic skyrmions and vortices

Collins Ashu Akosa, Papa Birame Ndiaye, Aurélien Manchon

We propose that topological spin currents flowing in topologically non-trivial magnetic textures, such as magnetic skyrmions and vortices, produce an intrinsic non-adiabatic torque…

Enhanced Non-Adiabaticity in Vortex Cores due to the Emergent Hall Effect

André Bisig, Collins Ashu Akosa, Jung-Hwan Moon +15

We present a combined theoretical and experimental study, investigating the origin of the enhanced non-adiabaticity of magnetic vortex cores. Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy…

Dirac Spin-Orbit Torques at the Surface of Topological Insulators

P. B. Ndiaye, C. A. Akosa, M. H. Fischer +3

We address the nature of spin-orbit torques at the magnetic surfaces of topological insulators, using both Kubo formula and Keldysh formalism. Through the analysis of the derived s…
