Topological transformation of synthetic ferromagnetic skyrmions: thermal assisted switching of helicity by spin-orbit torque

Abstract This study demonstrates the controllable switching of skyrmion helicity using spin-orbit torque, enhanced by thermal effects. Electric current pulses applied to a [Pt/Co]3/Ru/[Co/Pt]3 multilayer stripe drive skyrmions in a direction opposite to the current flow. Continuous pulsing results i...
