报告摘要:
Recent experimental observation of magnetic droplet solitons and skyrmions in NC-STOs and ferromagnetic thin film with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy add two new members to the family of distinct and useful nanoscale magnetic objects. In this talk, I will present some of our recent work on micromagnetics simulations of magnetic droplet solitons and skyrmions in constricted geometries. I will demonstrate numerically and analytically that spin transfer torquedriven precession can stabilize so-called dynamical skyrmions even in the absence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), and I will describe their very promising properties in detail. From a more fundamental perspective, precession is hence a third independent possibility to stabilize a skyrmion, without the need for the conventional stabilization from either dipolar energy or DMI. I furthermore propose some new mechanisms for skyrmion creation and manipulation in nanostructures. I believe our study is fundamentally important for a better understanding of how to inject and control skyrmions as information carriers in nanoscale hybrid spintronic and magnonic devices.
