Skyrmion

Słowa kluczowe	magnetism nanostructures non-trivial spin textures
Opis zakresu działań	During the implementation of this project, a wide range of ferromagnetic (FM), antiferromagnetic (AFM), and non-magnetic (NM) materials will be used to create precisely designed multilayered epitaxial heterostructures. The magnetic properties of these systems will be optimized to stabilize magnetic skyrmions [1-3] with controlled sizes at room temperature (RT) and without the need for an external magnetic field [4]. Subsequently, selected systems will undergo (nano)structuring to enable direct observation of the motion of individual skyrmions under the influence of current-induced processes. Most reports highlighting potential applications of skyrmions focus on samples obtained via sputtering methods, which are often polycrystalline. In this project, high-quality single-crystal samples with precise control over the properties of the interfacial regions between individual sublayers ("interfaces") will be investigated. Such systems not only serve as a model platform for fundamental research but also enable the design of skyrmionic memory prototypes, which are highly promising for applications in the field of spintronics.
