Effective energy landscape for circular skyrmion breathing modes, Eq. (27), with B=0.45, highlighting the distinct basin, bowl and horn energy partitioned by the constant saddle energy curve (shown in white). Inset: a cut through η=0 and η=π. (Photo credit: journals.aps.org)
In a constant push for the smaller and faster computer memory devices, Dr. Artem G. Abanov and fellow researchers turned to the topologically nontrivial configurations of magnetization in magnetic films.
