Deterministic field-free skyrmion nucleation at a nanoengineered injector device

S Finizio, K Zeissler, S Wintz, S Mayr, T Weßels… - Nano …, 2019 - ACS Publications
Magnetic skyrmions are topological solitons promising for applications as encoders for
digital information. A number of different skyrmion-based memory devices have been …

Dynamics of magnus-dominated particle clusters, collisions, pinning, and ratchets

C Reichhardt, CJO Reichhardt - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Motivated by the recent work in skyrmions and active chiral matter systems, we examine
pairs and small clusters of repulsively interacting point particles in the limit where the …

Shear banding, intermittency, jamming, and dynamic phases for skyrmions in inhomogeneous pinning arrays

C Reichhardt, CJO Reichhardt - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We examine driven skyrmion dynamics in systems with inhomogeneous pinning where a
strip of strong pinning coexists with a region containing no pinning. For driving parallel to the …

Chiral edge currents for ac-driven skyrmions in confined pinning geometries

C Reichhardt, CJO Reichhardt - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We show that ac-driven skyrmion lattices in a weak pinning channel confined by regions of
strong pinning exhibit edge transport carried by skip** orbits while skyrmions in the bulk of …
