Dynamics of magnetic skyrmion clusters driven by spin-polarized current with a spatially varied polarization
Dynamics of magnetic skyrmion clusters driven by spin-polarized current with a spatially varied polarization
Magnetic skyrmions are promising candidates for future information technology. Here, we present a micromagnetic study of isolated skyrmions and skyrmion clusters in ferromagnetic nanodisks driven by the spin-polarized current with spatially varied polarization. The current-driven skyrmion clusters can be either dynamic steady or static, depending on the spatially varied polarization profile. For the dynamic steady state, the skyrmion cluster moves in a circle in the nanodisk, while for the static state, the skyrmion cluster is static. The frequency of the circular motion of skyrmion is also studied. Furthermore, the dependence of the skyrmion cluster dynamics on the magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is investigated. Our results may provide a pathway to realize magnetic skyrmion cluster based devices.

Abstract
Magnetic skyrmions are promising candidates for future information technology. Here, we present a micromagnetic study of isolated skyrmions and skyrmion clusters in ferromagnetic nanodisks driven by the spin-polarized current with spatially varied polarization. The current-driven skyrmion clusters can be either dynamic steady or static, depending on the spatially varied polarization profile. For the dynamic steady state, the skyrmion cluster moves in a circle in the nanodisk, while for the static state, the skyrmion cluster is static. The frequency of the circular motion of skyrmion is also studied. Furthermore, the dependence of the skyrmion cluster dynamics on the magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is investigated. Our results may provide a pathway to realize magnetic skyrmion cluster based devices.
