Abstract:The competition between external drives and interparticle interactions are important for the static and dynamic properties of topological quasiparticles in confined geometries. Here, we study the dynamics of particlelike skyrmions under a current-induced compression, where skyrmions are stabilized in a confined space and form a skyrmion solid. We find that a lattice structural transition of nanoscale skyrmions could be induced by the compression, which depends on the initial lattice configuration and the compr… Show more
