Multiplet of Skyrmion States on a Curvilinear Defect: Reconfigurable Skyrmion Lattices

Typically, the chiral magnetic Skyrmion is a single-state excitation. Here we propose a system, where multiplet of Skyrmion states appears and one of these states can be the ground one. We show that the presence of a localized curvilinear defect drastically changes the magnetic properties of a thin perpendicularly magnetized…

Spin eigenmodes of magnetic skyrmions and the problem of the effective skyrmion mass

The properties of magnon modes localized on a ferromagnetic skyrmion are studied. Mode eigenfrequencies display three types of asymptotic behavior for large skyrmion radius. A number of properties of the magnon eigenfunctions are determined. This enables us to demonstrate that the skyrmion dynamics for a traveling-wave ansatz obeys the massless…
