In an earlier study, MIPT physicists excited
magnetic vortices in spintronic devices based on a ferromagnetic material and a topological insulator.
«This suggests that Majorana zero modes are likely to exist, bound to
magnetic vortices in this material, but we will have to do other types of measurements to find it.»
Together with colleagues from Forschungszentrum Jülich, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Nottingham, Almeida has studied
the magnetic vortices in magnetite nanocrystals.

When placed
in a
magnetic field, many superconductors display swirling
vortices of electric current — a hallmark of the standard superconductivity theory.
To the list of scary things

The team found that this «pins» the
magnetic flux lines
in place as the wires sweep through the field, preventing the formation of swirling
magnetic vortices that reduce current flow.
A team of researchers at the Brazilian Center for Physics Research is studying the motion of
vortex domain walls — local regions of charge that collectively store information via their configuration — driven by
magnetic fields
in ferromagnetic nanowires, which are configured
in a straight line with an asymmetric Y - like branch.
And the total sum of the winding numbers of
vortices that wink
in and out of existence as a
magnetic field is applied around the doughnut always stays the same.

In order to use skyrmions as a storage medium, it must be possible to manufacture the surfaces or interfaces on a sufficiently large scale, they must contain enough of the
magnetic material, and the
magnetic vortex must also occur at room temperature.
Magnetic vortices — so - called skyrmions — were predicted theoretically more than 25 years ago, but it has only been possible to observe them experimentally in magnetic materials in recen

In about one - third of the cases, she says, the
magnetic vortices preceded a flare — sometimes up to 3 days before it erupted.
These defects «pin»
in place, or trap, the microscopic
magnetic vortices that form when the superconductor is placed
in a strong
magnetic field, such as those generated by magnets
in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines.
The experiments
in Jülich showed that although the
magnetic vortices alter
in strength and direction when heated up, they go back to their original state as they cool down.
These bifurcations cause
vortex - antivortex pairs to move together along the «
magnetic roads» either
in one orientation or the opposite, depending on their polarities.
It's as if the conducting paths for
vortex motion
in the
magnetic trilayers can be dynamically rewired.
A group of researchers at CNRS, Forschungszentrum Juelich (FZJ), and Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed nanoscale components that apart from storing information
in magnetic vortices enable reading these out very efficiently.
