Optical skyrmions can control the motion of magnetic skyrmions
Magnetic skyrmions (MSks) are swirling patterns of magnetization that form inside certain magnetic materials. They can behave like actual particles in many ways, exhibiting a stable internal structure and distinct boundaries.
AI Summary
Magnetic skyrmions are swirling magnetization patterns that form within certain magnetic materials and behave like particles, possessing a stable internal structure and clear boundaries. Their extremely small size allows them to be moved with relatively little energy, making them attractive as information carriers for emerging low‑power memory and logic circuit technologies. Researchers have identified precise control of skyrmion motion as a major objective in the field, seeking practical methods to manipulate these nanoscale entities with high accuracy.
