摘要:

磁skyrmions是本地化的非共线自旋织构与未来的自旋电子应用的高潜力。Skyrmion相已经在许多材料中被发现,并且当前研究的焦点是用于在设备中实现的单个Skyrmion的制备、检测和操纵。Skyrmions的局部实验表征已经由,例如,洛伦兹显微镜或原子尺度的隧道磁阻测量使用自旋极化扫描隧道显微镜。在这里,我们报告的微分隧道电导磁skyrmion所产生的非共线性的急剧变化:自旋通道之间的混合局部改变电子结构,使skyrmion电子不同的铁磁环境。我们提出这种非共线磁阻(NCMR)作为一个可靠的全电检测方案的skyrmions与一个简单的实现到设备架构。

英文摘要:

Magnetic skyrmions are localised non-collinear spin textures with high potential for future spintronic applications. Skyrmion phases have been discovered in a number of materials and a focus of current research is the preparation, detection, and manipulation of individual skyrmions for an implementation in devices. Local experimental characterization of skyrmions has been performed by, e.g., Lorentz microscopy or atomic-scale tunnel magnetoresistance measurements using spin-polarised scanning tunneling microscopy. Here, we report on a drastic change of the differential tunnel conductance for magnetic skyrmions arising from their non-collinearity: mixing between the spin channels locally alters the electronic structure, making a skyrmion electronically distinct from its ferromagnetic environment. We propose this non-collinear magnetoresistance (NCMR) as a reliable all-electrical detection scheme for skyrmions with an easy implementation into device architectures.
