Spin-orbit torque-driven skyrmion dynamics revealed by time-resolved X-ray microscopy

Magnetic skyrmions are potentially suitable for future spintronic devices, but their dynamical behaviour in real space remains elusive. Here, Wooet al. report nanosecond-dynamics of a 100nm-size magnetic skyrmion triggered by current-induced spin-orbit torques.
