Magnetic skyrmionium can be used as a nanometer-scale non-volatile information carrier, which shows no skyrmion Hall effect due to its special structure carrying zero topological charge. Here, we report the static and dynamic properties of an isolated nanoscale skyrmionium in a frustrated magnetic monolayer, where the skyrmionium is stabilized by competing interactions. The frustrated skyrmionium has a size of about $10$ nm, which can be further reduced by tuning perpendicular magnetic anisotropy or magnetic field. It is found that the nanoscale skyrmionium driven by the damping-like spin-orbit torque shows directional motion with a favored Bloch-type helicity. A small driving current or magnetic field can lead to the transformation of an unstable Neel-type skyrmionium to a metastable Bloch-type skyrmionium. A large driving current may result in the distortion and collapse of the Bloch-type skyrmionium. Our results are useful for the understanding of frustrated skyrmionium physics, which also provide guidelines for the design of spintronic devices based on topological spin textures.

Magnetic skyrmionium is a novel magnetization configuration with zero skyrmion number, which is composed by two skyrmions with opposite skyrmion number. Here, we study the dynamics of skyrmionium under an anisotropy gradient. We find that the skyrmio nium can be efficiently driven by an anisotropy gradient with moving straightly along the direction of gradient. The skyrmion Hall angle for skyrmionium is close to zero which is much smaller than that of skyrmion. while the speed is much larger. We also demonstrate that the skyrmionium motion depends on the damping cofficient, and the skyrmionium stabilization in the motion can be modulated by narrowing the width of the nanowire. Our work shows a efficient driven method for skyrmionium, which may be promising in the application of skyrmionium based racetrack memory.
In materials lacking inversion symmetry, the spin-orbit coupling enables the direct connection between the electrons spin and its linear momentum, a phenomenon called inverse spin galvanic effect. In magnetic materials, this effect promotes current-d riven torques that can be used to control the magnetization direction electrically. In this work, we investigate the current-driven inverse spin galvanic effect in a quantum well consisting in a magnetic material embedded between dissimilar insulators. Assuming the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling at the interfaces, we investigate the nature of the non-equilibrium spin density and the influence of the quantum well parameters. We find that the torque is governed by the interplay between the number of states participating to the transport and their spin chirality, the penetration of the wave function into the tunnel barriers, and the strength of the Rashba term.
By means of spin current, the flow of spin angular momentum, we find a regime of spin treacle in a frustrated magnetic system. To establish its existence, we have performed spin transport measurements in nanometer-scale spin glasses. At temperatures high enough that the magnetic moments fluctuate at high frequencies, the spin Hall angle, the conversion yield between spin current and charge current, is independent of temperature. The spin Hall angle starts to decrease at a certain temperature $T^{*}$ and completely vanishes at a lower temperature. We argue that the latter corresponds to the spin freezing temperature $T_{rm f}$ of the nanometer-scale spin glass, where the direction of conduction electron spin is randomized by the exchange coupling with the localized moments. The present experiment textit{quantitatively} verifies the existence of a distinct spin treacle between $T_{rm f}$ and $T^{*}$. We have also quantified a time scale of fluctuation of local magnetic moments in the spin treacle from the spin relaxation time of conduction electrons.
Non-trivial topology in a two-dimensional frustrated spin system with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction was investigated by Monto Carlo simulations. At finite temperatures, thermally driven topology was discovered and was found to be dominan t at low magnetic field. This topological charge has a quadratic relation with the DM interaction and linear realtions with the external magnetic field or the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. We also proposed a real frustrated system, the Mn-Bi mono-layer film with exceedingly large DM interaction, to enable thermally driven topology. Other topological non-trivial phases in high magnetic field region were also discussed in this real system.
We study the emergence of magnetism and its interplay with structural properties in a two dimensional molecular crystal of cyclacenes, using density functional theory (DFT). Isolated cyclacenes with an even number of fused benzenes host two unpaired electrons in two topological protected zero modes, at the top and bottom carbon rings that form the molecule. We show that, in the gas phase, electron repulsion promotes an open-shell singlet with strong intramolecular antiferromagnetic exchange. We consider a closed packing triangular lattice crystal phase and we find a strong dependence of the band structure and magnetic interactions on the rotation angle of the cyclacenes with respect to the crystal lattice vectors. The orientational ground state maximizes the intermolecular hybridization, yet local moments survive. Intermolecular exchange is computed to be antiferromagnetic, and DFT predicts a broken symmetry $120^circ$ spin phase reflecting the frustration of the intermolecular spin coupling. Thus, the cyclacene crystal realizes a bilayer of two antiferromagnetically coupled S = 1/2 triangular lattices. Our results provide a bottom-up route towards carbon based strongly correlated platforms in two dimensions.
