Skyrmion motion and partitioning of domain wall velocity driven by repulsive interactions

Skyrmions are swirling magnetic textures useful for low power-consumption computer memories, but better means, preferably magnetic, are required to control their motion. Here, the authors use micromagnetic simulations to show that moving the walls between magnetic domains with an applied field can a...

description Skyrmions are swirling magnetic textures useful for low power-consumption computer memories, but better means, preferably magnetic, are required to control their motion. Here, the authors use micromagnetic simulations to show that moving the walls between magnetic domains with an applied field can also displace skyrmions due to their repulsion.
