Computer Simulation of Magnetic Skyrmions

Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of a numerical simulation of thermodynamics for the array of Classical Heisenberg spins placed on a 2D square lattice, which effectively represents the behaviour of a single layer. Using the Metropolis algorithm, we show the temperature behaviour of the system with a competing Heisenberg and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in contrast with the classical Heisenberg system. We show the process of nucleation of the skyrmion depending on the value of the external magnetic field. We proposed the controlling method for the movement of skyrmions.
