Dynamics of skyrmion crystals in metallic thin films

J Zang, M Mostovoy, JH Han, N Nagaosa - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
We study the collective dynamics of the Skyrmion crystal in thin films of ferromagnetic metals
resulting from the nontrivial Skyrmion topology. It is shown that the current-driven motion of …

Inverse spin-galvanic effect in the interface between a topological insulator and a ferromagnet

I Garate, M Franz - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
When a ferromagnet is deposited on the surface of a topological insulator the topologically
protected surface state develops a gap and becomes a two-dimensional quantum Hall …

Chirality from interfacial spin-orbit coupling effects in magnetic bilayers

KW Kim, HW Lee, KJ Lee, MD Stiles - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
As nanomagnetic devices scale to smaller sizes, spin-orbit coupling due to the broken
structural inversion symmetry at interfaces becomes increasingly important. Here, we study …

The manipulation of a magnetic domain wall (DW) by a spin polarized current in
ferromagnetic nanowires has attracted tremendous interest during the last years due to …

Magnon-drag thermopower and Nernst coefficient in Fe, Co, and Ni

SJ Watzman, RA Duine, Y Tserkovnyak, SR Boona… - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Magnon drag is shown to dominate the thermopower of elemental Fe from 2 to 80 K and of
elemental Co from 150 to 600 K; it is also shown to contribute to the thermopower of …
