It is shown here that a Kagom\'e magnet, with Heisenberg and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions causes non trivial topological and chiral magnetic properties. Chirality---that is, left or right handedness---is a very important concept in a…

We study current-driven magnetization switching in nanofabricated Ni84Fe16/Cu/Ni84Fe16 trilayers at 295 K and 4.2 K. The shape of the hysteretic switching diagram at low magnetic field changes from 295 K to 4.2 K. The reversible behavior at…

Thermal spin-transfer torque describes the manipulation of the magnetization by the application of a heat flow. The effect has been calculated theoretically by Jia et al. in 2011. It is found to require large temperature gradients in the…

We consider a magnetic skyrmion adiabatically driven by a spin-polarized electrical current periodic in both space and time and asymmetric in space, and also subject to a random magnetic field representing the thermal fluctuations. We show…

Topology is a powerful tool for categorizing magnetization textures by defining a topological index in both two-dimensional (2D) systems, such as thin films or curved surfaces, and in 3D bulk systems. In the emerging field of 3D…
