Dynamic behavior and stability control of skyrmionium in periodic PMA/damping gradient nanowires

Abstract

Magnetic skyrmioniums—with a composite structure comprising two skyrmions with opposite topological charges, exhibit unique dynamic behaviors that are crucial for technological advancements and have application potential for high-density and nonvolatile memory. This study explores the impact of periodic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and damping gradients on skyrmioniums. Utilizing the object oriented micromagnetic framework for detailed simulations, the effective control and enhancement of the skyrmionium stability and mobility through the periodic modulation of PMA and damping gradients is demonstrated. The results demonstrate the dynamic behavior and stability control of skyrmioniums in periodic PMA/damping gradient nanowires. Moreover, the critical influence of the periodic gradient on the skyrmionium motion and stability is highlighted. The results present new avenues for developing advanced memory technologies, leveraging skyrmionium's unique nonlinear behaviors to improve the device performance and reliability.
