Constructing coarse-grained skyrmion potentials from experimental data with Iterative Boltzmann Inversion

Yuqing Ge, Jan Rothörl, Maarten A. Brems +5

In an effort to understand skyrmion behavior on a coarse-grained level, skyrmions are often described as 2D quasi particles evolving according to the Thiele equation. Interaction p…

Commensurability between element symmetry and the number of skyrmions governing skyrmion diffusion in confined geometries

Chengkun Song, Nico Kerber, Jan Rothörl +10

Magnetic skyrmions are topological magnetic structures, which exhibit quasi-particle properties and can show enhanced stability against perturbation from thermal noise. Recently, t…

Faster chiral versus collinear magnetic order recovery after optical excitation revealed by femtosecond XUV scattering

Nico Kerber, Dmitriy Ksenzov, Frank Freimuth +11

While chiral spin structures stabilized by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) are candidates as novel information carriers, their dynamics on the fs-ps timescale is little kno…

Asymmetric skyrmion Hall effect in systems with a hybrid Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Kyoung-Whan Kim, Kyoung-Woong Moon, Nico Kerber +2

We examine the current-induced dynamics of a skyrmion that is subject to both structural and bulk inversion asymmetry. There arises a hybrid type of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interacti…
