The 2026 Skyrmionics Roadmap
Sabri Koraltan, Claas Abert, Manfred Albrecht +64
Magnetic skyrmions and related topological spin textures have emerged as a central topic in condensed-matter physics, combining fundamental significance with potential for transfor…
A fluctuation-free pathway for a topological magnetic phase transition
Riccardo Battistelli, Lukas Körber, Kai Litzius +27
Topological magnetic textures are particle-like spin configurations stabilized by competing interactions. Their formation is commonly attributed to fluctuation-driven, first-order…
Picosecond localization dynamics following ultrafast nanoscale magnetic switching
Daniel Metternich, Michael Schneider, Giuseppe Mercurio +28
Ultrashort laser pulses provide the fastest known way to switch magnetic order. Such excitation commonly creates nanometer-scale domains, even after homogeneous illumination when t…
Effective Theory of Ultrafast Skyrmion Nucleation
Rein Liefferink, Lukas Körber, Kathinka Gerlinger +3
Laser-induced ultrafast skyrmion nucleation has been experimentally demonstrated in several materials. So far, atomistic models have been used to corroborate experimental results.…
Signatures of higher order skyrmionic textures revealed by magnetic force microscopy
Sabri Koraltan, Joe Sunny, Tamer Karaman +6
Higher-order skyrmions and antiskyrmions are topologically protected spin textures with an integer topological charge other than and nucleate from topological point defects…
Robust scenario for the generation of non-equilibrium topological fluctuation states
Kathinka Gerlinger, Rein Liefferink, Michael Schneider +12
The recently discovered topological fluctuation state provides a fascinating new perspective on the ultrafast emergence of topology in condensed matter systems. However, rather lit…
