Dynamics of magnetic skyrmions*

Fig.#cod#x00A0;7. Schematic of the collective rotation of the skyrmion crystal. In a temperature gradient, the magnetization is larger in low temperature regions, thus the coupling to external electric current via the spin-transfer-torque is larger at theses places. The skyrmion crystal feels an overall torque, which makes it to rotate. [ 11 ]
