Magneto-transport Properties of Skyrmions and Chiral Spin Structures in MnSi

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

  • 567 Accesses

Abstract

Chiral spin structures produce various unique responses. Among them, skyrmion, a vortex-like nanoscale chiral spin structure with finite topological charge, attracts intensive interests, because of emergent transport response due to its non-trivial topology and promising application to next-generation non-volatile memory. In this chapter, we introduce basic properties of skyrmions and other chiral spin structures in chiral magnets.
