Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stabilized nanoscale magnetic configurations that are promising for future spintronic devices. Their topology stabilizes them against a continuous deformation into the uniform state and leads to novel physical effects.
Skyrmions have been first predicted in certain magnetic materials due to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) that favors a chiral spin canting. The interplay between the DMI and the exchange interaction finally gives rise to the creation of skyrmions.
Within the last years, skyrmions have been studied extensively, however no direct observation of real time skyrmion dynamics has been performed so far in for applications relevant geometries. In this work, we report the time-resolved pump-probe observation of stable magnetic skyrmions at room temperature in thin film devices by scanning transmission X-ray microscopy.
