Direct demonstration of topological stability of magnetic skyrmions via topology manipulation
Soong-Geun Je, Hee-Sung Han, Se Kwon Kim +8
Topological protection precludes a continuous deformation between topologically inequivalent configurations in a continuum. Motivated by this concept, magnetic skyrmions, topologic…

Realization of Ordered Magnetic Skyrmions in Thin Films at Ambient Conditions
Ryan D. Desautels, Lisa DeBeer-Schmitt, Sergio Montoya +7
Magnetic skyrmions present interesting physics due to their topological nature and hold significant promise for future information technologies. A key barrier to realizing skyrmion…

Spin-orbit torque induced dipole skyrmion motion at room temperature
Sergio A. Montoya, Robert Tolley, Ian Gilbert +3
We demonstrate deterministic control of dipole-field-stabilized skyrmions by means of spin-orbit torques arising from heavy transition-metal seed layers. Experiments are performed…
