Zero-field deterministic all-optical writing and annihilation of nanometer-scale skyrmion bubbles

M. G. van der Schans, W. P. M. de Kleijne, M. A. Brozius +1

Skyrmions are highly stable chiral magnetic spin textures with non-trivial topology. They can act as quasi-particles that can be generated, manipulated and annihilated, and hold pr…
