First Experimental Demonstration of Antiskyrmions: 3 Questions for Nikolai Kiselev
Tiny magnetic vortex structures in materials, called skyrmions, were first detected experimentally a good 10 years ago. Today, they form a basis for innovative concepts in information processing with better performance and less energy consumption. Jülich theoretical physicist Dr. Nikolai Kiselev, a researcher at the Peter Grünberg Institute and the Institute for Advanced Simulations, is part of the team that succeeded in making this discovery and here explains its significance.
