Energy surface and lifetime of magnetic skyrmions
Valery M. Uzdin, Maria N. Potkina, Igor S. Lobanov +2
The stability of skyrmions in various environments is estimated by analyzing the multidimensional surface describing the energy of the system as a function of the directions of the…
Theory of non-collinear interactions beyond Heisenberg exchange; applications to bcc Fe
A. Szilva, D. Thonig, P. F. Bessarab +8
We show for a simple non-collinear configuration of the atomistic spins (in particular, where one spin is rotated by a finite angle in a ferromagnetic background) that the pairwise…
Lifetime of racetrack skyrmions
P. F. Bessarab, G. P. Müller, I. S. Lobanov +7
The skyrmion racetrack is a promising concept for future information technology. There, binary bits are carried by nanoscale spin swirls -- skyrmions -- driven along magnetic strip…
Enhanced skyrmion stability due to exchange frustration
S. von Malottki, B. Dupé, P. F. Bessarab +2
Skyrmions are localized, topologically non-trivial spin structures which have raised high hopes for future spintronic applications. A key issue is skyrmion stability with respect t…
The effect of confinement and defects on the thermal stability of skyrmions
Valery M. Uzdin, Maria N. Potkina, Igor S. Lobanov +2
The stability of magnetic skyrmions against thermal fluctuations and external perturbations is investigated within the framework of harmonic transition state theory for magnetic de…
