Bloch
skyrmions are
found in the thick, asymmetric crystals in which
skyrmions were first detected, and Néel
skyrmions tend to show up in thin films.
Materials scientists still need to
find an antiferromagnetic material with the necessary properties to form
skyrmions, Kläui says.
The future of data storage is likely to be
found in nanometer scale, stable magnetic whirls called
skyrmions, which behave like particles in magnetic thin films.
This implies that the present
findings can be extended to all
skyrmions with the same topology.
Swirling objects known as magnetic vortices and
skyrmions can be miniaturized without sacrificing mobility, a KAUST - led international research team has
found.
Scientists want to
find a way to create 1 and 0 by using physics phenomena that don't actually change the atomic structure of the material — for example, making a line of
skyrmions that could be read as 1s (
skyrmion) and 0s (no
skyrmion).
Scientists
found they could prod these
skyrmions to move using electric currents, and an idea was born: could we use them to represent 1s and 0s in computer memory?
