摘要:

在很宽的外加磁场和材料参数范围内,孤立的磁skyrmion凝聚成skyrmion晶格。虽然孤立的skyrmions及其晶格对应物的几何形状强烈依赖于场和Dzyaloshinski-Moriya相互作用,但这个问题在以前的研究中没有得到充分解决。同时,这些信息对于应用是极其重要的,因为对于基于skyrmion的存储器和逻辑器件,必须调整skyrmion的大小和skyrmion间的距离。在这项研究中,我们阐明了尺寸和密度依赖的相图显示传统的相位场与材料参数空间的蒙特卡罗模拟的离散晶格。所得到的图使我们能够建立,在连续极限,skyrmions在一个离散的晶格不能小于一些临界尺寸,并有一个非常具体的形状。这些最小的skyrmions对应于微磁配置之间的铁磁和skyrmionic状态的能量障碍。此外,我们使用原子的Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert模拟研究的skyrmion湮灭的动力学。结果表明,这一过程包括两个阶段:连续的Skyrmion收缩和不连续的湮灭。详细分析了这一动力学过程。

英文摘要:

In a broad range of applied magnetic fields and material parameters isolated magnetic skyrmions condense into skyrmion lattices. While the geometry of isolated skyrmions and their lattice counterparts strongly depend on field and Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction, this issue has not been adequately addressed in previous studies. Meanwhile, this information is extremely important for applications, because the skyrmion size and the interskyrmion distance have to be tuned for skyrmion based memory and logic devices. In this investigation we elucidate the size and density-dependent phase diagram showing traditional phases in field vs. material parameters space by means of Monte-Carlo simulations on a discrete lattice. The obtained diagram permits us to establish that, in contrast to the continuum limit, skyrmions on a discrete lattice cannot be smaller than some critical size and have a very specific shape. These minimal skyrmions correspond to the micromagnetic configuration at the energy barrier between the ferromagnetic and the skyrmionic states. Furthermore, we use atomistic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert simulations to study dynamics of the skyrmion annihilation. It is shown that this procees consists of two stages: the continuous skyrmion contraction and its discontinuous annihilation. The detailed analysis of this dynamical process is given.
