Transport properties of dipole skyrmions in amorphous Fe/Gd multilayers
Abstract
Chiral magnets are known to possess interesting electromagnetic properties that result from the coupling of electrons with nontrivial magnetic phases, such as particle-like magnetic spin textures termed skyrmions. So far, it is unclear how the local and global chirality of magnetic spin textures contributes to the electromagnetic transport responses that have so far been observed. In this work, we focus on unraveling the contributions in the field-dependent longitudinal resistivity response that arises from magnetic spin textures in a centrosymmetric Fe/Gd multilayer that exhibits an array of magnetic phases ranging from stripe, mixed stripe-skyrmion, skyrmion lattice, and disordered skyrmion. Using a combination of transport measurements and micromagnetic simulations, we demonstrate a domain wall chirality reconfiguration occurs as the domain morphology transitions from disordered stripe to skyrmion lattice phase under applied fields that is responsible for the interesting transport responses noted in the field-dependent longitudinal resistivity.
