Tuesday publication post! 📖 In this newest publication, the #FusionAX was used to observe the irreversible formation of skyrmions in Nd₂Fe₁₄B, a strong rare-earth permanent magnet known for its high magnetic anisotropy and Curie temperature. Unlike many other skyrmion-hosting materials, these topological defects remain stable across a broad range of temperatures (295–565 K) and magnetic fields (0–0.1 T).
🔥With the Fusion AX system, the authors were able to eliminated blinking with localized, ultra-stable heating (<0.01°C), confirming that thermal fluctuations drive helicity reversal in skyrmions.
This research shows the critical role of thermal stability in skyrmion behavior, guiding future magnetic device design. The authors uncovered a new material platform for skyrmion formation, opening the door for next-gen spintronics and magnetic memory technologies.
