Antiferromagnetic half-skyrmions electrically generated and controlled at room temperature (2023)
Journal Article
Amin, O. J., Poole, S. F., Reimers, S., Barton, L. X., Dal Din, A., Maccherozzi, F., …Wadley, P. (2023). Antiferromagnetic half-skyrmions electrically generated and controlled at room temperature. Nature Nanotechnology, 18(8), 849-853. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-023-01386-3

Topologically protected magnetic textures are promising candidates for information carriers in future memory devices, as they can be efficiently propelled at very high velocities using current-induced spin torques. These textures—nanoscale whirls in... Read More about Antiferromagnetic half-skyrmions electrically generated and controlled at room temperature.

Antiferromagnets are hard to control by external magnetic fields because of the alternating directions of magnetic moments on individual atoms and the resulting zero net magnetization. However, relativistic quantum mechanics allows for generating cur... Read More about Electrical switching of an antiferromagnet.
