Magnetic skyrmion, a nanosized spin texture with topological property, has become an area of significant interest due to the scientific insight that it can provide and also its potential impact on applications such as ultra-low-energy ultra-high-density logic gates. In quest for reconfiguration single device implementation complete functions, novel reconfigurable skyrmion (RSL) is proposed verified by micromagnetic simulations.

Skyrmions have received considerable attention in various studies since the experimental observation magnetic materials 2009. Skyrmions, which are topological, particle-like localized structures, show significant fundamental research value field of physics and also regarded as novel information carriers that potential for use developing high-density, low-power, multi-functional spintronic devices.

Information security is of great importance for the approaching Internet things (IoT) era. Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) have been intensively studied information security. However, silicon PUFs are vulnerable to hazards such as modeling and side-channel attacks. Here we demonstrate a magnetic analogue PUF based on perpendicularly magnetized Ta/CoFeB/MgO heterostructures. The perpendicular anisotropy originates from CoFeB/MgO interface, which sensitive subnanometer variation MgO...
In materials with the gradient of magnetic anisotropy, spin-orbit-torque-induced magnetization behaviour has attracted attention because its intriguing scientific principle and potential application. Most behaviours microscopically originate from domain wall motion, which can be precisely depicted using standard cooperative coordinate method (CCM). However, motion in anisotropy CCM remains lack investigation. this paper, by adopting CCM, we established a set equations to quantitatively...
Many concepts for skyrmion-based devices have been proposed, and most of their possible applications are based on the motion skyrmions driven by a dc current in an area with constricted geometry.

The films originated from structural inversion asymmetry since dislocations defects were...
