Beschreibung:
  • We study how impurities influence the current-induced dynamics of magnetic skyrmions moving in a racetrack geometry. For this, we solve numerically the generalized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation extended by the current-induced spin transfer torque. In particular, we investigate two classes of impurities, nonconducting and magnetic impurities. The first are magnetically rigid objects and yield to an inhomogeneous current density over the racetrack, which we determine separately by solving the fundamental electrostatic equations. In contrast, magnetic impurities leave the applied current density homogeneous throughout the stripe. Depending on the parameters, we observe four different scenarios of skyrmion motions in the presence of disorder, the skyrmion decay, the pinning, the creation of additional skyrmions, and ordinary skyrmion passage. We calculate and discuss phase diagrams in the dependence of the impurity concentration and radii of the impurities.
