Optimizing the size of long-lived magnetic skyrmionsAnastasiya Varentsova1, Stephan v. Malottki2, Stefan Heinze2, and •Pavel F. Bessarab1,31ITMO University, St. Petersburg, Russia — 2University of Kiel, Kiel, Germany — 3University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland

Available experimental data on magnetic skyrmions in various materials demonstrate inverse correlation between the skyrmion size and skyrmion stability: small skyrmions tend to be less stable compared to large ones [1,2]. The question arises how fundamental this trend is and whether it is possible to obtain long-lived magnetic skyrmions at ambient conditions while keeping their size at the nanoscale.

Here, we demonstrate by means of transition state theory [3] and minimum energy path calculations [4] that the skyrmion lifetime at a given temperature is not a unique function of the skyrmion size and that it is possible to systematically tune material parameters so as to minimize the size of skyrmions while keeping their stability at a desired level. Based on this analysis we identify the most promising materials for the use as storage media based on magnetic skyrmions.
