Sentences with phrase «use skyrmions»

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.

Another idea is to use skyrmions for biologically inspired computers, which attempt to mimic the human brain (SN: 9/6/14, p. 10).

Now, a research group in Singapore has used computer simulations to further probe the behaviors of skyrmions, gaining insight that can help scientists and engineers better study the quasi-particles in experiments.

«We have also shown that the dynamic skyrmions can generate much stronger output in spintronic oscillators, so the potential use for this new phenomenon is great,» he says.

The new results, published in AIP Advances, from AIP Publishing, could also lead to skyrmion - based devices such as microwave nano - oscillators, used in a range of applications including wireless communication, imaging systems, radar and GPS.

«Since there is an insatiable appetite for storing information, for uses such as mobile phones, computers, and particularly online, nano - skyrmions are very interesting as an information carrier,» Åkerman says.

Because the mode frequencies of skyrmions are in the microwave range, the quasi-particles could be used for new microwave nano - oscillators, which are important building blocks for microwave integrated circuits.

One concept zips skyrmions around a loop then past a stationary read / write head to eliminate the need for mechanical components used in today's hard drives.

After an initial discovery in Germany, this is a field that has been widely studied in France, including by the Fert team, who recently demonstrated the possibility of occurrence of these skyrmions at room temperature, making even more likely their use in practice [2].

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?

To make skyrmion bubbles, researchers crafted a setup made out of tiny, precise, layered structures made using a process called lithography at the Center for Nanoscale Materials, a DOE Office of Science user facility at Argonne.
