• Pulling Magnetic Skyrmions out of Thin Air

  Magnetic skyrmions are topologically nontrivial spin textures with envisioned applications in energy-efficient magnetic information storage. In a study just published in Nature Communications, Prof. Kai Liu’s group, led by Dr. Gong Chen, have demonstrated a new method to reversibly write/delete skyrmions at room temperature via hydrogen chemisorption/desorption on the surface of magnetic thin films.
