Explore the cutting-edge field of spinorbitronics in this seminar by Samir Lounis from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. Discover how magnetic skyrmions, topological spin-swirling textures, can revolutionize information storage and transport through all-electrical detection mechanisms that identify their chiral nature in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states. Learn about thin-film materials hosting intrinsic antiferromagnetic skyrmions that form interpenetrating chains in row-wise AFM Cr films on PdFe bilayer/Ir(111) substrates, and examine their rich anisotropic skyrmion Hall effect that challenges conventional expectations. Delve into the innovative process of 'kagomerization', where two-dimensional kagome lattices emerge through reconstruction of transition metal monolayers on heavy metals using hexagonal boron nitride overlayers, creating electronic signatures while inducing diverse topological spin-textures including skyrmions and bimerons. Understand the fundamental physics behind current-perpendicular-to-plane geometry detection methods and explore how these discoveries open new pathways for engineering and detecting chiral entities in spintronics applications, addressing key challenges in skyrmion nucleation, motion, velocity, and stability for next-generation magnetic storage technologies.
