Cooper pairs in superconductors are normally spin singlet. Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that spin-triplet can be created at carefully engineered superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces. If spin-polarized they would transport not only charge but also a net component, without dissipation, and therefore minimize the heating effects associated with spintronic devices. Although it is now established triplet supercurrents exist, their most interesting property - inferred indirectly from...

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected particlelike spin textures initially discovered in chiral magnetic materials. When driven by an electric current, move at a certain angle (i.e., skyrmion Hall angle) with respect to the driving current due Magnus force, giving rise so-called effect (SHE). The SHE often leads annihilation sample edge, which is detrimental for practical applications. In this work, we study, experimentally and through micromagnetic simulations, current-driven...

Magnetic skyrmions are promising for future spintronic devices due to their nanoscale size, high thermal stability, and mobility at low current densities. However, practical applications may be limited by the skyrmion Hall effect (SkHE), which causes deflect from direction of driving current. The SkHE usually results in annihilation destructive skyrmion–boundary interactions.

Abstract Synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) skyrmions are emerging as novel information carriers due to their high mobility and lack of a skyrmion Hall effect. However, distinguishing SAF from ferromagnetic counterparts using imaging techniques like magneto‐optical microscopy remains challenging. While the suppressed intrinsic effect (SkHE) has been commonly used identify skyrmions, it is important note that other factors such defect pinning dipolar interaction can also lead SkHE. Therefore,...

Magnetic skyrmions are appealing for applications in emerging topological spintronic devices. However, when magnetic a nanowire driven by an in-plane current, transverse Magnus force deflects their trajectories from the current direction, which tends to push skyrmion toward edge. If density is exceedingly large, will be annihilated around edge, leading greatly reduced propagation distance and maximum speed of skyrmion, detrimental skyrmion-based applications. Here, we prepare multilayer...
