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…
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…
3D tomographic imaging of skyrmionic cocoons using HERALDO
Jhon J. Chiliquinga-Jacome, Matthieu Grelier, Riccardo Battistelli +11
Uncovering the rich and intricate characteristics of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic textures is essential for functional materials such as magnetic multilayers, where the delicate…
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.…
