Magnetic Nanovortices: Order Yields to Chaos
Magnetic switching processes are considered a prime example of controllable physics at the nanometer scale: in certain thin-film systems, a short electrical current pulse is sufficient to reverse the magnetization in a targeted way. […]
A team of researchers from the Max Born Institute, the Ferdinand Braun Institute, the University of Augsburg, and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin has now succeeded in directly imaging the effect of short current pulses on a skyrmion.
