An experimentally feasible energy-storage concept is formulated based on vorticity (hydro)dynamics within an easy-plane insulating magnet. The free energy, associated with the magnetic winding texture, is built up in a circular easy-plane magnetic structure by injecting a vorticity flow in the radial direction. The latter is accomplished by electrically induced spin-transfer torque, which pumps energy into the magnetic system in proportion to the vortex flux. The resultant magnetic metastable state with a finite winding number can be maintained for a long time because the process of its relaxation via phase slips is exponentially suppressed when the temperature is well below the Curie temperature. We propose to characterize the vorticity-current interaction underlying the energy-loading mechanism through its contribution to the effective electric inductance in the rf response. Our proposal may open an avenue for naturally powering spintronic circuits and nontraditional magnet-based neuromorphic networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
