Statics and dynamics of skyrmions interacting with disorder and nanostructures

C Reichhardt, CJO Reichhardt, MV Milošević - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2022 - APS
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stable nanoscale particlelike objects that were
discovered in 2009. Since that time, intense research interest in the field has led to the …

Depinning and nonequilibrium dynamic phases of particle assemblies driven over random and ordered substrates: a review

C Reichhardt, CJO Reichhardt - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
