Recent developments in the magnetization dynamics in spin textures, particularly skyrmions, offer promising new directions for magnetic storage technologies and spintronics. Skyrmions, characterized by their topological protection and efficient mobility at low current density, are increasingly recognized for their potential applications in next-generation logic and memory devices. This study investigates the dynamics of skyrmion magnetization, focusing on the manipulation of their topological states as a basis for bitwise data storage through a modified Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (LLG). We introduce spin-polarized electrons from a topological ferromagnet that induce an electric dipole moment that interacts with the electric gauge field within the skyrmion domain. This interaction creates an effective magnetic field that results in a torque that can dynamically change the topological state of the skyrmion. In particular, we show that these torques can selectively destroy and create skyrmions, effectively writing and erasing bits, highlighting the potential of using controlled electron injection for robust and scalable skyrmion-based data storage solutions.
自旋纹理,特别是斯格明子中磁化动力学的最新进展,为磁存储技术和自旋电子学提供了充满希望的新方向。斯格明子以其拓扑保护特性和在低电流密度下的高效迁移率为特征,其在下一代逻辑和存储设备中的潜在应用越来越受到认可。本研究调查了斯格明子磁化的动力学,重点是通过修正的朗道-里夫希茨-吉尔伯特方程(LLG)来操纵其拓扑状态,以此作为按位数据存储的基础。我们从拓扑铁磁体引入自旋极化电子,这些电子会诱导出一个电偶极矩,该电偶极矩与斯格明子域内的电规范场相互作用。这种相互作用产生一个有效磁场,该磁场会导致一个转矩,这个转矩能够动态改变斯格明子的拓扑状态。特别地,我们表明这些转矩能够选择性地破坏和产生斯格明子,有效地写入和擦除比特,突出了使用可控电子注入实现基于斯格明子的强大且可扩展的数据存储解决方案的潜力。
