Magnetic skyrmions are nano-scale magnetic states that could be used in various spintronics devices. A central issue is the mechanism and rate of various possible annihilation processes and the lifetime of metastable skyrmions. While most…
It is predicted magnetic skyrmions can be controllably moved on surfaces using a focused laser beam. Here an absorbed power of the order 1 mW, focused to a spot-size of the order 10 $\mu$m, results in a local temperature increase of around…
We study the equilibrium and dynamical properties of skyrmions in thin films of chiral magnets with oblique magnetic field. The shape of an individual skyrmion is non-circular and the skyrmion density decreases with the tilt angle from the…
Noncollinear antiferromagnets can generate a transverse electrical response known as the anomalous Hall effect, even though they possess almost no net magnetization. The microscopic origin of this behaviour, however, has remained unclear…
The anomalous Hall effect, observed in conducting ferromagnets with broken time-reversal symmetry, offers the possibility to couple spin and orbital degrees of freedom of electrons in ferromagnets. In addition to charge, the anomalous Hall…

We study the dynamics of skyrmions in Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya materials with easy-axis anisotropy. An important link between topology and dynamics is established through the construction of unambiguous conservation laws obtained earlier in…
Magnetic skyrmions are envisioned as carriers of information in racetrack storage devices. Unfavorably, the skyrmion Hall effect hinders the fast propagation of skyrmions along an applied electric current and limits the device's maximum…
A large enough piece of ferromagnet is usually not magnetized uniformly, but develops a magnetization texture. In thin films these textures can be doubly-periodic. Such are the well known magnetic bubble domains and the recently observed…
Hall effects have been employed as sensitive detectors of magnetic fields and magnetizations. In spintronics, exotic phenomena often emerge from a non-equilibrium spin polarization or magnetization, that is very difficult to measure…
Typical magnetic skyrmion is a string of inverted magnetization within a ferromagnet, protected by a sleeve of a vortex-like spin texture, such that its cross-section carries a positive integer topological charge. Some magnets form…
We study the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) in SrRuO$_3$ thin films, uncovering wide regimes of wavelength, temperature, and magnetic field where the Kerr rotation is not simply proportional to the magnetization but instead displays…
We consider a twisted magnetic bilayer subject to the perpendicular electric field. The interplay of induced Dzyaloshinskii - Moriya interaction and spatially varying moir\'e exchange potential results in complex non-collinear magnetic…
We present a comprehensive micromagnetic model of isolated axisymmetric skyrmions in magnetic multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy. Most notably, the essential role of the internal dipolar field is extensively considered with a minimum…
We report on theoretical investigations of scattering asymmetry vs. incidence of carriers through exchange barriers and magnetic tunnel junctions made of semiconductors involving spin-orbit interaction. By an analytical 2?2 spin model, we…
We present a theoretical study of the $I-V$ tunneling characteristic between two parallel two-dimensional electron gases in a perpendicular magnetic field when both are near filling factor $\nu=1$. Finite-size calculations of the…
The origin of the Hall effect in many itinerant ferromagnets is still not resolved, with an anomalous contribution from the sample magnetization that can exhibit extrinsic or intrinsic behavior. We report the first mid-infared (MIR)…
Skyrmions, topologically stable spin textures, are of great interest for new generations of spintronic devices. In general, the stabilization of skyrmions has been achieved in systems with broken inversion symmetry, where the asymmetric…
An interaction between ferromagnetic and superconducting orders, to be realized in a two dimensional ferromagnetic superconductor, is proposed obeying necessary symmetry principles. This interaction allows us to formulate a duality, similar…
Magnetic skyrmions are conventionally attributed to having zero mass. In contrast, we show that skyrmions confined to one-dimensional geometries generically acquire mass (inertia) due to the combined effects of the skyrmion Hall effect and…
