Description
Summary:Controlled creation of stable chiral spin textures is required to use them as an energy-efficient information carrier in spintronics. Here we have studied the stable creation of isolated chiral spin texture (skyrmion and antiskyrmion) and its pair through the magnetization reversal of a rectangular nanostructure using spin-polarized currents. An isolated spin texture is created through a negative current pulse. Dynamics of the stable spin texture are explored under external magnetic fields, and the resonant frequencies are calculated. A stable skyrmion pair is created using an asymmetric current pulse, and their interaction is studied using the Thiele equation. The stability of isolated or paired spin texture depends on the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction strength, spin-polarized current density, and pulse duration. In addition, the stability of the skyrmion pair depends on their initial separation, and a threshold for the separation between skyrmions of 78 nm is observed.
