Magnetic bimeron composed of two merons is a topological counterpart of magnetic skyrmion in in-plane magnets, which can be used as the nonvolatile information carrier in spintronic devices. Here we analytically and numerically study the dynamics of ferromagnetic bimerons driven by spin currents and magnetic fields. Numerical simulations demonstrate that two bimerons with opposite signs of topological numbers can be created simultaneously in a ferromagnetic thin film via current-induced spin torques. The current-induced spin torques can also drive the bimeron and its speed is analytically derived, which agrees with the numerical results. Since the bimerons with opposite topological numbers can coexist and have opposite drift directions, two-lane racetracks can be built in order to accurately encode the data bits. In addition, the dynamics of bimerons induced by magnetic field gradients and alternating magnetic fields are investigated. It is found that the bimeron driven by alternating magnetic fields can propagate along a certain direction. Moreover, combining a suitable magnetic field gradient, the Magnus-force-induced transverse motion can be completely suppressed, which implies that there is no skyrmion Hall effect. Our results are useful for understanding of the bimeron dynamics and may provide guidelines for building future bimeron-based spintronic devices.

Magnetic skyrmion is a promising building block for developing information storage and computing devices. It can be stabilized in a ferromagnetic thin film with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). The moving ferromagnetic skyrmion may show t he skyrmion Hall effect, that is, the skyrmion shows a transverse shift when it is driven by a spin current. Here, we numerically and theoretically study the current-driven dynamics of a ferromagnetic nanoscale skyrmion in the presence of the anisotropic DMI, where the skyrmion has an elliptical shape. The skyrmion Hall effect of the elliptical skyrmion is investigated. It is found that the skyrmion Hall angle can be controlled by tuning the profile of elliptical skyrmion. Our results reveal the relation between the skyrmion shape and the skyrmion Hall effect, which could be useful for building skyrmion-based spintronic devices with preferred skyrmion Hall angle. Also, our results provide a method for the minimization of skyrmion Hall angle for applications based on in-line motion of skyrmions.
Recent advances in the studies of pure spin currents - flows of angular momentum (spin) not accompanied by the electric currents - have opened new horizons for the emerging technologies based on the electrons spin degree of freedom, such as spintroni cs and magnonics. The main advantage of pure spin current, as compared to the spin-polarized electric current, is the possibility to exert spin transfer torque on the magnetization in thin magnetic films without electrical current flow through the material. In addition to minimizing Joule heating and electromigration effects, this characteristic enables the implementation of spin torque devices based on the low-loss insulating magnetic materials, and offers an unprecedented geometric flexibility. Here we review the recent experimental achievements in investigations of magnetization oscillations excited by pure spin currents in different magnetic nanosystems based on metallic and insulating magnetic materials. We discuss the spectral properties of spin-current nano-oscillators, and relate them to the spatial characteristics of the excited dynamic magnetic modes determined by the spatially-resolved measurements. We also show that these systems support locking of the oscillations to external microwave signals, as well as their mutual synchronization, and can be used as efficient nanoscale sources of propagating spin waves.
The demand for compact, high-speed and energy-saving circuitry urges higher efficiency of spintronic devices that can offer a viable alternative for the current electronics. The route towards this goal suggests implementing two-dimensional (2D) mater ials that provide large spin polarization of charge current together with the long-distance transfer of the spin information. Here, for the first time, we experimentally demonstrate a large spin polarization of the graphene conductivity ($approx 14%$) arising from a strong induced exchange interaction in proximity to a 2D layered antiferromagnetic. The strong coupling of charge and spin currents in graphene with high efficiency of spin current generation, comparable to that of metallic ferromagnets, together with the observation of spin-dependent Seebeck and anomalous Hall effects, all consistently confirm the magnetic nature of graphene. The high sensitivity of spin transport in graphene to the magnetization of the outermost layer of the adjacent interlayer antiferromagnet, also provides a tool to read out a single magnetic sub-lattice. The first time observations of the electrical and thermal generation of spin currents by magnetic graphene suggest it as the ultimate building block for ultra-thin magnetic memory and sensory devices, combining gate tunable spin-dependent conductivity, long-distance spin transport and spin-orbit coupling all in a single 2D material.
Magnetic hopfion is three-dimensional (3D) topological soliton with novel spin structure that would enable exotic dynamics. Here we study the current driven 3D dynamics of a magnetic hopfion with unit Hopf index in a frustrated magnet. Attributed to spin Berry phase and symmetry of the hopfion, the phase space entangles multiple collective coordinates, thus the hopfion exhibits rich dynamics including longitudinal motion along the current direction, transverse motion perpendicular to the current direction, rotational motion and dilation. Furthermore, the characteristics of hopfion dynamics is determined by the ratio between the non-adiabatic spin transfer torque parameter and the damping parameter. Such peculiar 3D dynamics of magnetic hopfion could shed light on understanding the universal physics of hopfions in different systems and boost the prosperous development of 3D spintronics.
A magnetic bimeron is a topologically non-trivial spin texture carrying an integer topological charge, which can be regarded as the counterpart of skyrmion in easy-plane magnets. The controllable creation and manipulation of bimerons are crucial for practical applications based on topological spin textures. Here, we analytically and numerically study the dynamics of an antiferromagnetic bimeron driven by a spin current. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the spin current can create an isolated bimeron in the antiferromagnetic thin film via the damping-like spin torque. The spin current can also effectively drive the antiferromagnetic bimeron without a transverse drift. The steady motion of an antiferromagnetic bimeron is analytically derived and is in good agreement with the simulation results. Also, we find that the alternating-current-induced motion of the antiferromagnetic bimeron can be described by the Duffing equation due to the presence of the nonlinear boundary-induced force. The associated chaotic behavior of the bimeron is analyzed in terms of the Lyapunov exponents. Our results demonstrate the inertial dynamics of an antiferromagnetic bimeron, and may provide useful guidelines for building future bimeron-based spintronic devices.
