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…
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…
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…
