Weak Field Skyrmion Nucleation for Spintronic Memory DevicesMagnetic skyrmions are unique and stable magnetic spin structures extensively studied in condensed matter physics. They are actively being developed due to their potential application in advanced memory chips. These skyrmion-based memory structures have advantages such as high density, low energy consumption, and resistance to disturbances, making them an attractive option for next-generation data storage. The NeedAlthough skyrmions have the potential to revolutionize the memory industry, they are currently limited by materials and manufacturing practices. Hence, it is essential to identify new materials where small, stable skyrmions can be reliably manufactured and manipulated. The TechnologyThis technology produces advanced memory devices by nucleating and manipulating skyrmions using in-plane fields. By switching in-plane fields, the method can achieve tunable size, type, and stability in the nucleated skyrmions. Thus far, the inventors have prototyped the technique and demonstrated proof of concept in the laboratory. Commercial ApplicationsThis invention can be used to develop advanced memory devices, high-density data storage, energy-efficient electronics, fast processing and access speed non-volatile memory, advanced computing systems, secure data storage, and wearable and flexible electronics.
