Indirect Control of Buried CoB Spin Textures via C-Induced Modification of Ir Spin-Orbit Coupling

Colin Kirkbride, Christopher E A Barker, Timothy Moorsom +6

Understanding how organic materials modulate magnetic structure is a central challenge in organic spintronics. Here, we demonstrate that C molecular films exert a pronounced…

Beyond conventional skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnets

Kayla Fallon, Reshma Peremadathil-Pradeep, Christopher E. A. Barker +14

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin textures that can act as reconfigurable nanoscale information carriers. In synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs), interlayer exchang…

Spin wave resonance in yttrium iron garnet stripe domains

Daniel Prestwood, Chris E. A. Barker, Kilian D. Stenning +15

We study a thin film yttrium iron garnet sample that exhibits magnetic stripe domains due to a small perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Using wide-field magneto-optic Kerr effect m…

Thermoelectric Fingerprinting of Bloch- and Néel-type Skyrmions

Christopher E. A. Barker, Elias Saugar, Katharina Zeissler +6

Magnetic skyrmions are nanoscale spin textures that exhibit topological stability, which, along with novel thermal and electrical transport properties, make them the ideal candidat…

Skyrmion motion in a synthetic antiferromagnet driven by asymmetric spin wave emission

Christopher E. A. Barker, Charles Parton-Barr, Christopher H. Marrows +2

Skyrmions have been proposed as new information carriers in racetrack memory devices. To realise such devices, a small size; high speed of propagation; and minimal skyrmion Hall an…

Phase Coexistence and Transitions between Antiferromagnetic and Ferromagnetic States in a Synthetic Antiferromagnet

Christopher E. A. Barker, Kayla Fallon, Craig Barton +12

In synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) the combination of antiferromagnetic order and synthesis using conventional sputtering techniques is combined to produce systems that are advan…

Statics and Dynamics of Skyrmions in Balanced and Unbalanced Synthetic Antiferromagnets

Eloi Haltz, Christopher E. A. Barker, Christopher H. Marrows

Synthetic antiferromagnets have great potential as skyrmion carriers in which new properties are expected for these spin textures, owing to changed magnetostatics and the absence o…

Domain wall motion at low current density in a synthetic antiferromagnet nanowire

Christopher Barker, Simone Finizio, Eloi Haltz +6

The current-driven motion of magnetic domain walls (DWs) is the working principle of magnetic racetrack memories. In this type of spintronic technology, high current densities are…

Breathing Modes of Skyrmion Strings in a Synthetic Antiferromagnet

Christopher E. A. Barker, Eloi Haltz, Thomas A. Moore +1

Skyrmions are small topologically protected magnetic structures that hold promise for applications from data storage to neuromorphic computing and they have been shown to possess i…
