Magnetic Skyrmions: Current‐Induced Skyrmion Generation through Morphological Thermal Transitions in Chiral Ferromagnetic Heterostructures (Adv. Mater. 49/2018)

Magnetic skyrmions are particle‐like chiral twists of the magnetization that promise advances in spin‐based data storage and logic device applications. In article number 1805461, Mathias Kläui, Geoffrey S. D. Beach, and co‐workers examine current‐induced generation of skyrmions in heavy‐metal/ferrom...

Description
Summary:Magnetic skyrmions are particle‐like chiral twists of the magnetization that promise advances in spin‐based data storage and logic device applications. In article number 1805461, Mathias Kläui, Geoffrey S. D. Beach, and co‐workers examine current‐induced generation of skyrmions in heavy‐metal/ferromagnet multilayers and show that Joule heat pulses can drive topological transitions in magnetic textures and enable skyrmion creation on nanosecond timescales.
