摘要: Controllable formation and manipulation of domain walls in one-dimensional (1D) nanostripes underpins a promising type emergent spintronic device. Magnetic skyrmion is topologically stable whirlpool-like spin texture expected to replace familiar wall phenomena build such devices, owing its prominent features including small size, topological stability the critical current required move it. It thus essential understand skyrmions' properties nanostructured element. In this paper, we mainly give fundamental insight into issue. Experimental achievements individual skyrmions nanostripe are outlined detail.
