Stability of Neel skyrmions in ultra-thin nanodots considering Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and dipolar interactions

Abstract: An analytical expression for the energy of Néel skyrmions in ultra-thin nanodots considering exchange, uniaxial anisotropy, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya, and dipolar contributions has been obtained. In particular, we have proposed for the Néel skyrmion, a general ansatz for the component of the magnetization perpendicular to the dot, given by mz(r) = [1 − (r/Rs) n ]/[1 + (r/Rs) n ], where Rs is the radius of the skyrmion and n is an integer and even number. As proof of concept, we calculate the energy of a Néel skyrm… Show more

“…This corresponds to a weak dependence of the normalized size d s sk /w on magnetic parameters [e.g., D/A; Fig. 5(b)], consistent with recent multilayer simulations by other groups [28,37]. However, such insensitivity of d s sk to magnetic parameters is in stark contrast with our MFM data [ Fig.…”

“…This observation, while incongruous with N i = 1 simulations for κ > 1 [ Fig. 5(a)] [5,24,37], is consistent with the behavior of multiskyrmion states [ Fig. 5(d)].…”

“…To support the above analytical considerations, we performed micromagnetic simulations for a thin magnetic nanodisk with out-of-plane anisotropy. These disks have been in the focus of skyrmion-related research in many recent publications [40][41][42][43][44][45] . The considered disk and its surfaces exhibit negligibly small DMI, so that only the dipole-dipole interaction (included in the demagnetization field) could stabilize a biskyrmion.…”
