Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) technology has reached an areal density of over 2Tb/in&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, but the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) as well as the overall recording quality clearly decreases with the recording bit length (BL). In HAMR, recording patterns typically have a crescent shape due to the moving heat spot. The curvature of this crescent shape is of great significance as it is a significant source of transition broadening of the readback signal[1][2]. Various methods have been applied to determine and modify this curvature for better recording performance[3][4][5]. Thus, investigating how this curvature varies with different bit lengths and studying the change of this curvature during the HAMR writing process may help improve HAMR performance at the highest linear densities.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In this digest, a detailed study of the dependence of curvature in HAMR transitions on bit length is presented. With the help of micromagnetic simulations, HAMR transition patterns for three different bit lengths, 10.5nm, 15nm and 21nm, were obtained and analyzed. For each bit length, 128 bits were written on multiple media and overlapped. Curvatures were then calculated using these averaged patterns. AC-erased thermal Exchange Coupling Composite (ECC) media was used, where a superparamagnetic layer with high Curie temperature forms the writing layer and a doped FePt layer with relatively low Curie temperature serves as the storage layer[6]. The change in curvature during the cooling process was also tracked for pure FePt media. Curvatures of DC-erased thermal ECC media were tested as well for comparison. Introduction of intergranular exchange was also implemented to find potential optimizations of HAMR system designs.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Micromagnetic simulations in this study are guided by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. Renormalization group theory is applied to enable inclusion of atomic level phenomena[7]. Media dimension is 384nm x 48nm x 9nm. For a certain bit length, the 128 written bits were overlapped and averaged, as shown in Fig. 1. The left edge of the -1 bit (blue-colored) was chosen for curvature calculation. This curve was fitted to a parabolic curve and the reciprocal value of its second order coefficient was taken as its curvature.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In HAMR, the cooling process could potentially modify the written bits as magnetic properties of the media materials, such as saturation magnetization and magneto-crystalline anisotropy, change greatly with temperature. Curvatures before and after the cooling process for both AC-erased thermal ECC media and pure FePt media with BL10.5nm, 15nm and 21nm are presented in Fig. 2.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For thermal ECC media, curvatures before the cooling process for all the three bit lengths were close to each other, as shown with the cyan solid line in Fig. 2. After the bits were cooled down to room temperature, a decrease in curvature was seen for both BL10.5nm and 15nm while no obvious curvature change was observed for BL21nm. The BL10.5nm curvature experienced a bigger drop than the BL15nm curvature. This means that curvatures are reduced more during the cooling process for smaller bit lengths. The reason lies in the distance between the bit edge and the heat spot. When a -1 bit is just written, the left edge of this bit is about twice the bit length away from the heat spot. For BL10.5nm case, this distance is 21nm, which is much smaller than that for BL15nm and BL21nm cases. This implies that for BL10.5nm case, this bit edge is under a much higher temperature and spins here have a greater chance to be switched due to their reduced anisotropy fields. When the magnetic field switches as the head moves on, some spins at the center of this left bit edge area would get flipped, which will flatten the curve and thus cause the curvature to decrease. This leads to the interesting conclusion that the enhanced erase-after-write found in the thermal ECC media is actually beneficial owing to the resulting reduction in curvature.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;FePt media shows a very similar erase-after-write effect, with the 10.5 nm bits showing before and after cooling curvatures very close to the thermal ECC media. Interestingly, the 21 nm bits, while showing reduced erase-after-write as expected, have overall larger values of the curvature in comparison to the thermal ECC media, possibly owing to the differing magnetostatics.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Curvatures for DC-erased thermal ECC media are found to be larger than those for AC-erased media in all the three BL cases. This is because the +1 background of DC-erased media provides stronger dipole interaction than the averaged 0 background of AC-erased media. Spins have a higher switching probability, especially in the middle of the track. For AC-erased thermal ECC media, when intergranular exchange was introduced, a decrease in curvature was seen in all the three BL cases. This results from the weaker intergranular exchange effect received by two transition corner areas than by the central areas due to the averaged 0 background. The two corners are then removed and the curvature is reduced.

 Dependence of Curvature in HAMR Transitions on Bit Length

The 65th Annual Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM 2020) was held in a virtual form. The COVID-19 pandemic, with its associated uncertainty about international travel and the ability to gather in large groups, meant that the Steering Committee decided to cancel the face-to-face meeting that had been planned in Palm Beach, Florida November 2-6, 2020.

We were reluctant to give up the benefits of meeting face-to-face, and know that shifting to a virtual conference is a significant change for this community. Nevertheless, we are first and foremost concerned about the health and safety of all our Conference participants and their loved ones on returning home after travelling.

The MMM 2020 Steering Committee was working exceptionally hard, along with our sponsors, the IEEE Magnetics Society and AIP Publishing, to make this event serve the needs of our participants, who live in time zones all around the globe, in the best possible way.

I will present an overview of our recent results on modelling field-driven dynamics of domain walls in ferromagnetic thin films and strips with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, focusing on the effect of internal degrees of freedom on the domain wall dynamics. In the geometries considered, the dynamics associated with the internal degrees of freedom are given by that of the magnetisation at the domain wall mid-point, and is manifested as repeated nucleation, propagation and annihilation of topological defects known as Bloch lines within the moving domain wall. Our aim is to understand the effect of such internal dynamics on the large-scale dynamics of domain walls. First, I will discuss micromagnetic simulations of magnetic field-driven domain wall dynamics in thin ferromagnetic strips with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy which demonstrate that in wide enough strips the Walker breakdown - the sudden drop of domain wall velocity as the field is increased above the Walker field - is a multistep process: It consists of several distinct velocity drops separated by short linear parts of the velocity vs field curve. These features originate from the repeated nucleation, propagation, and annihilation of an increasing number of Bloch lines within the domain wall as the driving field magnitude is increased [1]. Second, I will consider micromagnetic simulations of Barkhausen noise in disordered Pt/Co/Pt thin films due to precessional motion of domain walls. In this regime the domain walls contain Bloch lines which repeatedly nucleate, propagate, and annihilate within the domain wall during the Barkhausen jumps. In addition to bursts of domain wall propagation, the in-plane Bloch line dynamics within the domain wall exhibits crackling noise and constitutes the majority of the overall spin rotation activity [2]. Finally, I will present our very recent work on developing a reduced model of line-like domain walls in thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy including a description of internal degrees of freedom, i.e., Bloch lines and their dynamics. The model, which is computationally much more efficient than full micromagnetic simulations, is applied to study the depinning transition of field-driven domain walls in disordered ferromagnetic thin films [3].

On dynamics of domain walls with internal degrees of freedom

With recent advancements in fabrication techniques, in particular through FEBID technology, three-dimensional (3D) nanomagnetism has emerged as a new field of interest [1]. Over the past decades, extensive studies on patterned two-dimensional thin-film elements have demonstrated that the properties of magnetic nanostructures are significantly affected by their shape, such that certain magnetic features can be generated and modified by changing the geometry. Following this principle, the access to an additional degree of freedom in 3D nanomagnetism can introduce new effects unknown in planar structures and may open up possibilities for new devices with artificially designed properties [2]. In this context, a promising category of novel nanomagnetic nano-architectures with remarkable potential for applications are 3D arrays of interconnected magnetic nanowires. The assembly of magnetic nanowires into an interconnected array can lead to interactions and magnetic structures with features known from artificial spin ice (ASI) lattices. A particular micromagnetic situation occurs at the intersections of the wires, where the magnetization must adapt to a change of both the geometry and the magnetization direction. At the vertices, characteristic magnetic configurations and phenomena of magnetic frustration unfold. Here we show that these frustrated states can strongly impact the overall properties of a bucky-ball type geometry, which can be considered a prototype of a 3D ASI. Using finite-element micromagnetic simulations, we investigate the hysteretic behavior, the static magnetization structure, and the high-frequency properties of the magnetization in artificial buckyball-type nanostructures. The buckyball geometry [3, 4] acts as a model system to study the transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional ASI structures. It has, on one hand, important similarities with a two-dimensional Kagomé lattice, while, on the other hand, it also incorporates distinct three-dimensional properties resulting from the spatial arrangement of the nanowires and the spherical shape of the network that they form. The geometry consists of 90 nanowires connected at 60 vertices, resulting in a closed network of hexagons and pentagons. Our model system is made of soft-magnetic Co, and its size is typically in the micron range. More specifically, we have investigated various buckyball-type geometries with individual nanowire lengths ranging between 25 nm and 250 nm. At zero field, the static magnetization structure of the magnetic bucky-balls is characterized by their configurations at the vertices. Due to the prevailing impact of shape anisotropy, each nanowire is magnetized along its axis. Based on the orientation of the magnetization in the three nanowires meeting at a vertex, the magnetic structures at the vertices can be classified into four types: two-out / one-in, two-in / one-out, three-out, and three-in. A specific magnetic charge, +1,-1,+3 and -3, can be assigned to each of these configurations, as is done in Kagomé lattices [5]. Neglecting the sign of the charges, one can distinguish between ice-rule obeying single-charge and defect-like triple-charge configurations. By means of hysteresis loop simulations, we find that triple-charged vertices can be created and removed through minor loops: If the field is reduced to zero from saturation, two triple-charge vertex configurations form at diametrically opposite sites. These triple charge defects dissolve after applying a moderate negative field, and they do not reappear if the field is subsequently removed again. Hence, we show that in these 3D ASI geometries, it is possible to inject and to remove magnetic triple-charge defect structures in a controlled way by varying the external magnetic field within a specific range. Going further in the study, we analyze the fundamental high-frequency modes of the magnetization in these geometries and their dependence on the magnetic structure. To extract the modes, the equilibrium states at zero field are excited by a picosecond field pulse, leading to a magnetic ringing over several nanoseconds. From these high-frequency dynamics, the magnetic modes are derived by using spatially-resolved windowed Fourier analysis [6]. We observe a distinct correlation between the distribution of magnetic charges at the vertices and the frequency of the modes. The modes can be distinguished as oscillations that are localized either at the vertices or within the nanowires. In particular, we find that the dynamics of the triple-charge states is very different from the dynamics at the single-charge vertices. The triple-charge states generate a strong, often dominating signal at low frequencies, which is absent in configurations without triple-charge defects. Moreover, we show that the frequency of this mode can be varied in an almost linear fashion by an external magnetic field. The combination of this feature with the particular hysteretic properties of the system opens a promising perspective to develop tailored devices with desired high-frequency properties that can be manipulated by varying the type of magnetic frustrations.

Micromagnetics of Frustrated States and High-frequency Modes in Artificial Buckyball Nanostructures

The manipulation of magnetic textures in ferromagnets (FM) has been the focus of intense research in recent years. More recently, this focus has been displaced towards the use of antiferromagnets (AFM), and ferrimagnets (FiM), which are more robust against external perturbation and can sustain faster magnetization dynamics. In this context, simplified models have been proved very useful to describe and clarify the phenomenology on FM [1], AFM [2], and FiM [3] materials giving in some cases also good quantitative predictions. Nevertheless, AFM and FiM are described by two sublattices strongly couple through an exchange interaction while FM are described by only one magnetic lattice. In order to recover the FM case from the FiM description, one needs not only to set the second sublattice magnetization to zero but also its corresponding energy densities. It is possible to describe all these cases in a unified framework by a simple renormalization of the energy densities to the squared of the sublattices magnetization modulus. To give an example, considering Ku1 and Ku2 the common uniaxial anisotropy parameters, we substitute them by ku1*(MS1)2 and ku2*(MS2)2 respectively. This procedure is followed for all the energy density terms and included in Petaspin micromagnetic solver [4]. Here, we focus on the statics and dynamics of domain walls (DWs) when excited by spin-orbit torque (SOT). Regarding the static states of AFM, we show that as in FM, AFM also may exhibit periodic patterns due to the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (iDMI) [5]. In this case, the ‘effective’ inhomogeneous exchange accounting for the two intralattice inhomogeneous exchange contributions and the one interlattice inhomogeneous exchange plays the role of the exchange interaction in FM. Correspondingly, the ‘effective’ iDMI to consider is the sum of the iDMI parameter of the two sublattices. Additionally, we show that similarly to FM, iDMI promotes the nucleation of new domains at the edges of and AFM strip even for moderate current densities [6]. Differently from FM, in AFM this effect is more efficient due to the robustness of the Néel DW against SOT excitation dynamics. This effect is one of our main results since it could limit the maximum DW velocity in and AFM racetrack memory because the nucleation of new domains would change the stored information, thus limiting the maximum current density that can be applied. We have also compared full micromagnetic simulations with a collective coordinates (CC) model which also includes the DW width changes due to the SOT and the spatial tilting of the domain wall [7] for different saturation magnetization ratios. The CC model properly predicts the domain wall width at equilibrium. On the other hand, when the magnetic texture is excited by a current through the SOT we can find three scenarios: (i) when the exchange and anisotropy parameters are larger enough, the DW dynamics can be described by the CC model even if we neglect the DW tilting and width variation. When we neglect these effects we talk about the ‘rigid CC model’. (ii) The cases where the exchange is lower but the anisotropy is large enough cannot be properly described by the rigid CC model. In these cases, the effect of the tilting and the DW width reduced the stationary DW velocity and, thus, they should be taken into account to describe the dynamics. This is shown in Fig. 1 where the solid linear line corresponding to the rigid CC model cannot predict the stationary DW velocities from the full micromagnetic simulations. Nonetheless, the dashed line corresponding to the CC model follows the saturation of the velocity due to the DW tilting. (iii) For low anisotropy parameters the excitation of self-oscillation threshold can be found for moderate current densities (red line in Fig. 2). We observe that before this threshold, where the Gilbert damping is almost compensated by the antidamping term induced by the SOT, the DW velocity increases faster than the usual linear trend being able to reach much larger velocities. Neither the rigid CC model nor the CC model can describe this effect and these cases required a full micromagnetic approach. From a fundamental point of view, this super-linear trend is another of our main results. The threshold current for self-oscillations depends on the anisotropy [8] which can be tuned, opening a path to exploit the super-linear DW mobility under moderate current densities.

Micromagnetic modelling of ferro-, ferri-, and antiferromagnetic materials.

Research into geometrical frustration over the past two decades has revealed fundamentally new exotic behavior [1]. The magnetic interactions of the structure, coupled with the specific geometry causes frustration in the system, referred to as artificial spin ices. Several geometries exist, but for the purpose of this research, the kagome arrangement was used. In general, the geometry of these frustrated systems follows the ice rule, that being two interacting moments point in while two point out. The kagome however follows the modified ice rule of two moments pointing in while one points out or vice versa. These systems appear as 2D analogues to the 3D structure and it is the lattice configuration along with the specific frustration created that causes these exotic behaviors. Presented here are the magnetoresistances obtained for kagome magnetically frustrated systems in a single vertex and lattice format. Both geometries are compared in a magnetically connected format and a magnetically disconnected format in order to observe the exchange and dipolar energies. The structures were simulated with parameters for permalloy, using BORIS [2], and dimensions of 1µm long, 100nm wide and 10nm thick. The aim was to evaluate the magneto resistance, which was done assuming the current density aligns with the long axis and a basic resistor network. By comparing the simulated data for the connected and disconnected single vertex with the measurements taken previously for a lattice, a greater understanding of the effect of the disconnected versus connected structures can be achieved. Measurements of the kagome lattice showed that the disconnected lattice had a change in magnetoresistance that was 2~3 times greater than the connected lattice, experimentally. The simulations of the single vertex’s magnetoresistance differ by approximately an order of magnitude to those of the experiments. While the simulations are not for the full lattice, they shed some light on the experimental results obtained and the single vertex interactions that occur within the lattice. The simulation of the hybrid vertex appears to mirror that of the experimental data obtained for the hybrid lattice while the simulation of the connected vertex appears to differ somewhat from the experimental data obtained for the connected lattice. This highlights the implications of the experimental work in that the connected kagome has more complex interactions throughout the lattice while the magnetically disconnected hybrid is rather a simplified system. The subtle difference in the geometries of the connected and disconnected lattices aids in the explanation of the effects and interplay of both the spin structures and the current density. This work demonstrates the potential for using simulations to expose magnetic interactions in a lattice type structure and other interesting geometries, along with the enhanced magnetoresistance signals that were obtained.

Micromagnetic simulations of artificial spin ice lattices and vertices

The micromagnetic configuration of a ferromagnetic sample results from the balance between different energy terms, in particular the magnetic anisotropy, the exchange energy and the magnetostatic energy. A very large variety of domain structures is observed depending on the intrinsic properties of the ferromagnetic material (anisotropy, exchange, spontaneous magnetization) and on its shape. Of particular interest are domains presenting a cylindrical symmetry that appear in thin films or patterned cylindrical micro/nanostructures. As examples, magnetic bubble domains have been extensively studied in micron-thick rare-earth orthoferrites films where they were considered for magnetic recording applications. A theory linking the static stability of these structures to both the material properties and sample geometry was developed, highlighting the requirement that the uniaxial anisotropy must overcome the stray field energy in order to stabilize the bubble. Stable cylindrical target domains have also been observed in a variety of patterned magnetic thin films, characterized by multiple nested concentric magnetic rings. Such micromagnetic configurations have been reported in systems with out-of-plane magnetization such as high magnetic anisotropy Co and FePt films [1] or perpendicular anisotropy multilayers [2,3], as well as in low anisotropy NiFe and Ni films [4,5] in which the magnetization is mostly in-plane with a weak out-of-plane component. Several numerical simulation studies have been undertaken to investigate these magnetic configurations [1-3,5-7]. Most of these simulations assumed the presence of a strong perpendicular anisotropy. Numerical simulations with low anisotropy systems have received less attention [4,5], and still require to consider a rather large perpendicular uniaxial anisotropy - attributed to built-in magnetostriction or resulting from a columnar grain structure [8] - to explain the formation of bubble or target domains. In this paper, we present experimental and numerical results obtained on patterned micron-size permalloy disks showing magnetic target domains. We conducted a thorough investigation of the evolution of the magnetic structure as a function of the Py thickness. Arrays of microdisks were patterned by optical lithography, e-beam evaporation and lift-off step. Disks diameter is constant at 1.3 µm and the thicknesses was varied from 90 nm to 400 nm. The MFM imaging of the remanent magnetization for disks in the as deposited state are shown in Figure 1. Thinner disks exhibit the expected vortex structure (Fig. 1a, b). For thicker disks, imaging reveals a structure with spiraling or concentric ring domains with alternating, up and down, perpendicular component of the magnetization (Fig. 1c - 1h). Micromagnetic numerical simulation have been carried out where we consider that the disks exhibit a columnar magnetic grain structure with variable inter-grain coupling and, in contrast with previous calculations, no contribution from magnetocrystalline or intrinsic uniaxial anisotropies. In our case, the inter-grain coupling intensity σ allows for the modulation of the demagnetizing field energy, giving rise to various magnetic configurations that will be described in details (Fig. 2). It is found that, for the thinnest disks, despite the columnar structure, the most stable magnetic structure is the vortex structure. Above a critical thickness the lowest energy structure evolves into a target domain structure, with a number of concentric domains that decreases as the thickness increases. It is also observed that, in addition to the target structure, less symmetrical spiral or disordered metastable structures can be observed. These observations closely match the experimental results for disks with similar aspect ratio, indicating that, together with σ, these are the two governing parameters in this case. We will also present details of the different energy contributions and describe the internal structure of the magnetization. This model based on a columnar texture of the film constitutes an alternative to explain the formation of target domain structures without relying on the existence of a perpendicular anisotropy difficult to justify in materials such as permalloy.

Concentric target domains in magnetic nanodisks

Recent advances on the stabilization and manipulation of chiral magnetic configurations hosted by systems that consist in alternating atomic layers of ferromagnetic and non-magnetic materials hold promise of innovative spintronic devices. The low dimensionality of the systems promotes spin-orbit driven interfacial effects[1] like the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and interfacial magnetic anisotropy (iMAE), whose relative strengths may be tuned to achieve stable nanometer sized magnetic objects with fixed chirality called magnetic skyrmions[2], which are proposed as information carriers in future spin-orbitronics technologies. While in most of the cases this is obtained by engineering complex multilayers stacks in which interlayer dipolar fields become relevant[3], we consider here a simple epitaxial trilayer in which a ferromagnet (namely Cobalt, Co), with variable thickness, is embedded between a heavy metal and graphene[4]. The latter enhances the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the system, promotes a Rashba-type DMI, and can sustain very long spin diffusion length. The work consists in the development of a layer-resolved micromagnetic model capable to account for the interfacial nature of the interactions[5], which leads to macroscopic parameters that depend on the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer. We demonstrate that our model correctly reproduces the experimental magnetization configurations and the spin reorientation transition (SRT) of a gr/Co(tCo)/Pt sample[4]. Next, we study the stabilization of magnetic skyrmions in patterned magnetic nanodots with a diameter of 256 nm. In particular, we analyze the thickness-dependent stability of the skyrmionic state in contrast with a single domain state. Our results demonstrate that, for samples with Co thicknesses larger than 3.6 nm, intrinsic mixed Bloch-Néel (predominantly Bloch-type) skyrmions are stabilized in 256 nm wide dots. For thicknesses larger than ~5 nm, the results show that the geometrical confinement imposed by the nanodot promotes the stabilization of chiral spin textures similar to skyrmions but with complex and fluctuating domain walls.

Micromagnetic Study of Stable Skyrmions in Dot-Patterned Graphene-Based Magnetic Trilayers

Magnetic skyrmions in ferromagnetic materials are mainly stabilized by the interplay of several magnetic energy contributions, i.e. exchange, dipole, anisotropy, and Zeeman. In particular, the asymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interaction (DMI) introduces chiral canting between neighboring spins and favors skyrmion stability [1]. Skyrmions are particle-like chiral spin textures found in magnetic films and patterned nanostructures with out-of-plane anisotropy and are considered to be potential candidates as information carriers in next-generation data storage devices [2]. The challenge of the experimental study of skyrmions is to find an efficient technique for forming stable skyrmions. In particular, the outstanding issues are the reproducible generation, stabilization, and confinement of skyrmions at room temperature [2,3,4]. It is well known that various magnetic textures can be stabilized by geometrical confinement using artificial nanostructures, however, there are several key challenges like reproducible skyrmion formation that still need to be addressed. We present two methods of skyrmions formation in nanodots and antidots arrays. For these first structures, we have shown the formation of skyrmion using the tip of a magnetic force microscope [3], and during the remagnetization process for antidots arrays [4]. Here, we present the results of the investigation of a skyrmion formation in Pt/Co/Au nanodots. We demonstrate that the high magnetic momentum probe induces individual skyrmions during the scan. A specific path of the MFM tip causes a systematic change in the state of the magnetic domains during scanning. The process of annihilation of remaining domains is ruled by magnetostatic interactions where the magnetic domains are simultaneously repelled from the edges of the nanodots and from the tip field. Micromagnetic simulations have shown that specific conditions restricting the movement of magnetic domains must be met in order to form the magnetic skyrmion [3]. In this work, we present a method to form nanometer-sized magnetic skyrmions in an array of magnetic topological defects in the form of an antidot lattice. In particular, the introduction of the holes in a thin magnetic film modifies the spatial distribution of the effective field, which has a profound influence on the formation mechanism of the skyrmions. The position of skyrmion formation was recognized at the saddle point of the lattice as a result of the spatial distribution of the effective field. With micromagnetic simulations, we elucidate the steps of the skyrmion formation process and showed that this process depends on the antidot lattice parameters. This behavior is confirmed with scanning transmission x-ray microscopy measurements [4]. The work was supported by National Science Centre of Poland, Projects Nos.

Néel type skyrmions formation in nanodots and antidot arrays.

Skyrmions in magnetic thin films are solitonic excitations that could open new possibilities for spintronic devices. The recent successes obtained in ferromagnetic films have shown some limitations, with dipolar-coupling induced large skyrmion sizes and topology induced gyrotropic deflection. Antiferromagnetic films and their artificial equivalents that are ferrimagnets and synthetic antiferromagnets could overcome these limitations. In this talk, we explore the skyrmion dynamics in such materials. Separating them into two antiferromagnetically coupled sublattices, we show that the dynamics can be described by two coupled Thiele equations. This framework is used to address the consequences of the small skyrmion size and the angular momentum compensation. It provides a simple approach to describe this problematic. Small skyrmions, that are possible due to the vanishing total magnetization, are shown to be significantly slower (velocity proportional to radius) than larger ones (size independent velocity). This result is a direct consequence of the skyrmion topology, which induces an excess of dissipation per size unit at small sizes. Angular momentum compensation is shown to cancel the gyrotropic deflection, without the need to modify the topology and maximizes the velocity. In a track, where the edge repulsion cancels the gyrotropic deflection, the angular momentum compensation has no effect and skyrmions travel faster that non confined skyrmions. From an applied perspective, the data rate is given by the velocity to radius ratio and correspond to the inverse of the time needed for a skyrmion to jump from one site to another. This shows that small skyrmions in ferrimagnetic films would still be preferable to large ones, providing fast and dense devices.

The points are the results of simulations, and the lines are the result of the model. Note that the skyrmion size increases with DMI at a given composition, and that the size is minimual at the magnetic moment compensation (77.5%).

Smaller and faster skyrmions in compensated ferrimagnets and synthetic antiferromagnets

In this last decade, experimental results and their understanding have led to magnetic skyrmions becoming promising candidates for the storage and processing of digital information [1]. However, some key barriers such as reducing their size, enhancing their stability at room temperature, or their low-power manipulation under electrical current have not yet been overcome, meaning that they are rarely integrated in actual devices [2]. To surmount these limitations, it has been proposed to study these magnetic textures in antiferromagnets or synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) instead of the conventional ferromagnetic layers that are usually considered [3,4]. In this more complex system, multiple ferromagnetic layers are coupled antiferromagnetically through a non-magnetic spacer layer via the RKKY interaction (Fig a) [4,5]. By switching to these systems, two crucial points need to be addressed. First, a drastic reduction of stray fields is expected in SAFs due to the anti-alignment of magnetization, which should reduce the size of the skyrmions [6]. Second, it is not possible to manipulate a conventional skyrmion in the driving force direction in a ferromagnet due to its topology that intrinsically induces a deflection known as the skyrmion Hall effect [7]. In SAF systems, since the magnetisation of the skyrmions in each magnetic layer are opposite, it is expected that the two deflections cancel each other out and the two skyrmions move in the current direction [3]. Even if skyrmions have recently been observed in SAFs [4,8,9], a clear and simple micromagnetic description of both the static and dynamic properties of such skyrmions is so far lacking to further understand this phenomenon. In order to improve the description of these properties and highlight the expected benefits of using SAFs rather than conventional ferromagnets, we simulate numerically the behavior of skyrmions in bilayer SAFs for a large range of parameters. We also adapt the ferromagnetic analytical formalism [10] to SAF systems. This leads to results that are in good agreement with the numerical simulations whilst also highlighting the underlying mechanisms. First, we investigate the stability region of SAF skyrmions and how their radii r evolve with micromagnetic parameters. We show that they are only slightly smaller than for ferromagnetic systems (Fig b), but that they exist for a larger range of parameters. Second, we study the dynamics of these skyrmions under spin currents. We find, as expected, that SAF skyrmions move at a faster velocity v than in a conventional ferromagnet (Fig c) for a given current density J, and move in the applied current direction (Fig d) with zero skyrmion Hall angle θSky. By using the analytical model based on the Thiele equation, we are able to recover these dynamics (Fig c and d) and identify the required condition for the vanishing of the topological deflection. Finally, we unbalanced the SAF by asymmetrizing the skyrmions in each layer in different ways in order to verify the condition for vanishing deflection. The results obtained highlight the qualitative benefits of SAF skyrmions and propose some methods for more quantitative optimizations.

 Statics and Dynamics of Skyrmions in Synthetic Antiferromagnets : Benefits and Micromagnetic Understanding

Magnetic skyrmions are chiral, topologically-protected magnetic spin textures known for their rich physics and potential for future data storage devices. Recently, magnetic multilayers with interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) have attracted great attention because they can support stable Néel-type magnetic skyrmions at room temperature. Here, we report on micromagnetic simulations of the effect of initial magnetic field treatment on skyrmion formation in [Pt/Co/Ir]n magnetic multilayers. The multilayer system was modeled with MuMax3 using parameters determined from experimental measurements on [Pt/Co/Ir]n=3,5,8 multilayer thin films. The simulations show that the application and subsequent removal of a nearly in-plane magnetic field can transition the originally labyrinth domains into bubble skyrmions, which agrees well magneto-optical Kerr effect imaging results. Systematic simulations of the magnetic configuration of the [Pt/Co/Ir]n as a function of angle and magnitude of the applied magnetic field reveal that the formation of bubble skyrmions occurs for field magnitudes that are close to but below the in-plane saturating field and that an additional out-of-plane component will help the skyrmion formation. Skyrmion formation is observed over a wider magnetic field range as the repetition number is increased, which corresponds to increasing importance of the demagnetization field coupling.
