Coexistence of topologically distinct spin textures — •Börge Göbel1, Jagannath Jena2, Stuart Parkin2, and Ingrid Mertig11Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Mikrostrukturphysik, Halle

Over the last decade, the field of skyrmionics has attracted great research interest, as skyrmions (small, whirl-like spin textures) possess a topologically-induced stability that allows to consider them as the carriers of information in future data storage devices. However, due to their integer topological charge there are two major shortcomings of skyrmion-based racetrack storages: The skyrmions do not move parallel to a current and multiple skyrmions attract and repell each other.

A solution to these problems is the utilization of alternative magnetic nano-objects that go beyond conventional skyrmions; see review [1]. In this talk, we show via simulations, Lorentz transmission electron microscopy measurements [2,3] and Hall transport measurements [4] that skyrmions, antiskyrmion and topologically trivial bubbles [5] can coexist in Heusler materials. They can even appear fractionally near the sample's edges [6]. We propose an advanced version of the racetrack storage device based on these results.
