Magnetic study of the new skyrmion-carrying material CoZnMn

Abstract: Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another magnetisation state, giving them a unique robustness. The ultralow energy threshold for their collective motion makes skyrmions promising candidates for future spintronics applications. Here, we propose to study the novel room-temperature skyrmion material CoZnMn in thin film form. CoZnMn has a non-centrosymmetric crystal structure, similar to the P213-type helimagnets, with largely unexplored magnetic properties for thin films.
