Als de vrijgekomen energie groot genoeg is om over de energiebarrière te komen (weergegeven als een bal die over een heuvel springt), ontstaat er een skyrmion.

New theory explains the behavior of magnetic skyrmions

Research news item

Researchers have developed a new theory that describes the behavior of magnetic skyrmions on ultrafast timescales. Until now, this was only possible using computationally demanding atomistic simulations.
