Dynamics of magnetic skyrmions*

Fig.#cod#x00A0;8. a An isolated skyrmion. b#cod#x2013;d The electric polarization distribution of the skyrmion, in three crystal orientations: b B #cod#x2225;[001], E #cod#x2225;[001]; c B #cod#x2225;[110], E #cod#x2225;[001]; d B #cod#x2225;[111], E #cod#x2225;[111]. In panels c and d, the skyrmion has a net electric polarization, thus it could couple to the external electric field gradient, and move perpendicularly to the field gradient because of the non-Newtonian nature.
