Diffusion of skyrmions: the role of topology and anisotropy

We study the diffusive motion of metastable localized spin structures with various topological charges by combining atomistic spin model simulations with an extension to the Thiele equation taking into account translational and rotational degrees of freedom. The Brownian motion of skyrmions is shown...
