Directed motion of liquid crystal skyrmions with oscillating fields
Using continuum simulations, we show that under a sinusoidal electric field, liquid crystal skyrmions undergo periodic shape oscillations which produce controlled directed motion. The speed of the skyrmion is non-monotonic in the frequency of the applied field, and exhibits multiple reversals of the...
