Figure 7. The isolated skyrmion orientation reversal in confined three-dimensional helimagnetic nanostructure.
(a) The spatially averaged magnetisation components ,
, and
and (b) skyrmion number
, scalar value
, and total energy
time evolutions in the reversal process over
. The simulated sample is a
thin film disk with
diameter. (c) The magnetisation states at different instances of time (points A to F) together with
colourmap in the
cross section and
profiles along the horizontal symmetry line. (d) The
colourmap and magnetisation field in the central part of
cross section as shown in an inset together with the position of Bloch point (BP). (e) The BP structure along with colourmaps of magnetisation components which shows that the magnetisation covers the closed surface (sphere surrounding the BP) exactly once.
