Формирование скирмионных состояний в ионно-облученных тонких пленках CoPt

Abstract

The possibilities of controlled exposure to ion irradiation (He+ with an energy of 20 keV and a fluence in the range from 3×1014 to 3×1015 cm–2) as a method for modifying the magnetic properties and domain structure of Co0.35Pt0.65 thin ferromagnetic films have been studied. It was found that the ion irradiation causes a change in the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction constant and a change in the skyrmion density that correlates with it. This result shows the possibility of homogeneous ion irradiation as a way to control the micromagnetic structure, namely the process of formation of skyrmion states.
