The transformation between different topological spin textures

Phys.org  November 11, 2022
Skyrmions and bimerons are versatile topological spin textures that can be used as information bits for both classical and quantum computing. An international team of researchers (Japan, China, Australia) has demonstrated the creation of isolated skyrmions and their subsequent transformation to bimerons by harnessing the electric current-induced Oersted field and temperature-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy variation. The reversible transformation between skyrmions and bimerons was controlled by the current amplitude and scanning direction. Both skyrmions and bimerons could be created in the same system through the skyrmion-bimeron transformation and magnetization switching. Deformed skyrmion bubbles and chiral labyrinth domains were found as nontrivial intermediate transition states. According to the researchers the results may provide a unique way for building advanced information-processing devices using different types of topological spin textures in the same system…read more.
