Emergent Chaos-Like Dynamics of Spin-Orbit Torque-Driven Magnetic Transitions
Lisa-Marie Kern, Kai Litzius, Victor Deinhart +12
Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) are widely used to control magnetization in nanoscale electric systems and are typically assumed to drive skyrmion nucleation and motion in a deterministi…

Linear dichroic soft X-ray microscopy of ferroelectric stripe domains in epitaxial KNaNbO
M. Schneider, T. A. Butcher, S. Wagner +19
Functional properties of ferroelectric thin films are governed by domains that can be engineered by epitaxial strain. Soft X-ray microscopy can image domain structures with element…

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…
