Position-dependent stability and lifetime of the skyrmion state in nickel-substituted Cu2OSeO3 (2020)
Journal Article
Crisanti, M., Birch, M., Wilson, M., Moody, S., Štefančič, A., Huddart, B., Cabeza, S., Balakrishnan, G., Hatton, P., & Cubitt, R. (2020). Position-dependent stability and lifetime of the skyrmion state in nickel-substituted Cu2OSeO3. Physical Review B, 102(22), Article 224407. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.102.224407

We report spatially resolved small-angle neutron-scattering measurements of the conical and skyrmion states of a bulk single crystal of nickel-substituted Cu2OSeO3, with a nominal concentration of Ni of 14%. We observe a significant spatial dependenc... Read More about Position-dependent stability and lifetime of the skyrmion state in nickel-substituted Cu2OSeO3.

Anisotropy-induced depinning in the Zn-substituted skyrmion host Cu2OSeO3 (2020)
Journal Article
Birch, M., Moody, S., Wilson, M., Crisanti, M., Bewley, O., Štefančič, A., Balakrishnan, G., Fan, R., Steadman, P., Alba Venero, D., Cubitt, R., & Hatton, P. (2020). Anisotropy-induced depinning in the Zn-substituted skyrmion host Cu2OSeO3. Physical review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 102(10), Article 104424. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.102.104424

Magnetic skyrmions are nanosized topological spin textures stabilized by a delicate balance of magnetic energy terms. The chemical substitution of the underlying crystal structure of skyrmion-hosting materials offers a route to manipulate these energ...
