Ordering in magnetic skyrmion lattices

ORAL

Abstract

Ordering in magnetic skyrmion lattices is an active area of research for skyrmion systems. In this talk, we present recent results obtained using Langevin molecular dynamic simulations, based on a previously derived particle model of skyrmions. Using a Voronoi cell algorithm, we examine the effect of the Magnus force present in skyrmion systems and how it affects ordering when noise is both present and absent in the system. We observe power-law behavior during late time ordering in these skyrmion systems. We also find power-law behavior when looking at the difference in time of consecutive events as the system orders.
