摘要:

磁性Skyrmions在开发新型自旋电子器件方面具有巨大的潜力。电操纵skyrmions主要依赖于电流诱导的自旋轨道力矩。最近的一个理论模型表明,表面声波(SAW)可以更有效地操纵Skyrmions,SAW是一种弹性波,可以通过磁弹性效应与磁矩耦合。然而,由SAW驱动的skyrmions的定向运动仍然缺失。在这里,我们实验证明了由片上压电换能器传播SAW脉冲驱动的Ta/CoFeB/MgO/Ta多层膜中的Néel型skyrmions的运动。结果表明,具有纵向和剪切垂直位移的弹性波(Rayleigh波)能捕获Skyrmions,而剪切水平波能有效地驱动Skyrmions运动。特别是,沿SAW传播方向的纵向运动和由于拓扑电荷的横向运动,观察到并进一步证实了我们的微磁模拟。这项工作展示了一种基于声波操纵skyrmions的有前途的方法,这可能为超低功率自旋电子学提供新的机会。

英文摘要:

Magnetic skyrmions have great potential for developing novel spintronic devices. The electrical manipulation of skyrmions has mainly relied on current-induced spin-orbit torques. A recent theoretical model suggested that the skyrmions could be more efficiently manipulated by surface acoustic waves (SAW), an elastic wave that can couple with magnetic moment through magnetoelastic effect. However, the directional motion of skyrmions that is driven by SAW is still missing. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the motion of Néel-type skyrmions in Ta/CoFeB/MgO/Ta multilayers driven by propagating SAW pulses from on-chip piezoelectric transducers. Our results reveal that the elastic wave with longitudinal and shear vertical displacements (Rayleigh wave) traps skyrmions, while the shear horizontal wave effectively drives the motion of skyrmions. In particular, a longitudinal motion along the SAW propagation direction and a transverse motion due to topological charge, are observed and further confirmed by our micromagnetic simulations. This work demonstrates a promising approach based on acoustic waves for manipulating skyrmions, which could offer new opportunities for ultra-low power spintronics.
