Manipulation of Skyrmions created by opto-magnetic switching — •Stefan Gerlach, Denise Hinzke, and Ulrich Nowak — University of Konstanz, 78457 Konstanz, Germany

Magnetic bubbles are spots of opposite magnetization and can be observed in ferromagnetic thin films and nanoelements with high perpendicular anisotropy[1]. Their dynamics is determined by a topological number called the Skyrmion number which relates them to the well-known and similiar Skyrmions[2].

Opto-magnetic switching is known to reverse the magnetization of small spots in thin films within picoseconds[3]. We use Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB)-based simulations which allow for the linear reversal mechanism[4] combined with a two temperature model to describe the opto-magnetic switching. We will show how bubble domains can be created and discuss their dynamics when manipulated with external magnetic fields.
