  • Title: Current-Induced Magnetic Skyrmions with Controllable Polarities in the Helical Phase.
    Author: Zhao X, Tang J, Pei K, Wang W, Lin SZ, Du H, Tian M, Che R.
    Journal: Nano Lett; 2022 Nov 23; 22(22):8793-8800. PubMed ID: 36331209.
    Abstract:
    We report the current-induced creation of magnetic skyrmions in a chiral magnet FeGe nanostructure by using in situ Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. We show that magnetic skyrmions with controllable polarity can be transferred from the helical ground state simply by controlling the direction of the current flow at zero magnetic fields. The force analysis and symmetry consideration, backed up by micromagnetic simulations, well explain the experimental results, where magnetic skyrmions are created because of the edge instability of the helical state in the presence of spin-transfer torque. The on-demand generation of skyrmions and control of their polarity by electric current without the need for a magnetic field will enable novel purely electric-controlled skyrmion devices.
