This interaction conventionally originates from spin-orbit coupling and thus needs somewhat heavy elements. In contrast, we here show a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction which is driven by electric current vorticity. We also find that the vorticity acts on localized spins as a Zeeman field, which may explain a recent experiment on current-driven magnetic skyrmion creation and annihilation without an external magnetic field in a device with a notch structure in FeGe. The theory explains the control of skyrmion creation and annihilation by current direction and opens different possibilities for studies of magnetic textures by using structural settings.

被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:25.71(Physics, Applied)The electric field (EF) modulation of magnetic domain wall (DW) creep velocity in Pt/Co/Pd structure with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (MA) has been studied. The structures with different Co thickness
up to
nm are investigated. In all samples, applying a gate voltage induces a clear change in

modulation efficiency, and the
modulation magnitude of more than a factor of 100 times is observed in the thickest
of 0.98 nm. The parameter characterizing the creep motion is significantly affected by the EF, resulting in the modulation of

case, the MA modulation efficiency decreases with increasing
. The present results are discussed based on the EF-induced change in the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (iDMI), which has been recently demonstrated in the same structure, and
dependence of the DW energy. The
dependence of the
modulation suggests that the EF effect on the iDMI is more important than the MA.
