  • Title: Dynamics of Skyrmion crystals in metallic thin films.
    Author: Zang J, Mostovoy M, Han JH, Nagaosa N.
    Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2011 Sep 23; 107(13):136804. PubMed ID: 22026888.
    Abstract:
    We study the collective dynamics of the Skyrmion crystal in thin films of ferromagnetic metals resulting from the nontrivial Skyrmion topology. It is shown that the current-driven motion of the crystal reduces the topological Hall effect and the Skyrmion trajectories bend away from the direction of the electric current (the Skyrmion Hall effect). We find a new dissipation mechanism in noncollinear spin textures that can lead to a much faster spin relaxation than Gilbert damping, calculate the dispersion of phonons in the Skyrmion crystal, and discuss the effects of impurity pinning of Skyrmions.
