Atomic scale interface engineering for realizing a perpendicularly magnetized CoFeB-based skyrmion hosting material
Néel-type magnetic skyrmions in perpendicularly magnetized systems have attracted considerable interest due to their potential in fundamental research on topological objects and spintronics applications. Various systems have been explored to study Néel-type magnetic skyrmions, including repeated magnetic multilayers, two-dimensional materials, and single magnetic thin-films. Among these, single magnetic thin-films, especially a CoFeB single layer, offers multiple benefits, such as reduced defect energy, high mobility, and easy integration with existing magnetoresistive random access memory technology. However, optimizing CoFeB-based skyrmion hosting materials remains challenging and requires further systematic and comprehensive investigation. Here, in this study, we examine the effect of atomic-scale interface engineering by inserting a Ta layer between the CoFeB/MgO interface on perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, saturation magnetization, and Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction. Moreover, we provide a guideline for engineering material parameters and demonstrate the validity of atomic-scale interface engineering. Our findings contribute to the development of optimized CoFeB-based skyrmion hosting materials.

Thermal generation, manipulation and thermoelectric detection of skyrmions
The efficient generation, manipulation and detection of magnetic skyrmions are important for the development of future spintronic devices. One approach is to use electric-current-induced spin torques. Recently, thermally induced skyrmion motion has also been observed, but wider experimental evidence and its capabilities remain limited. Here we report the thermal generation, manipulation and thermoelectric detection of nanoscale skyrmions in microstructured metallic multilayers integrated with on-chip heaters. The local application of heat can facilitate a domain morphological transition and the formation of skyrmions at the device edge, where a low energy barrier exists. Here, we observe the unidirectional diffusion of skyrmions from hot regions to cold regions, which is due to the interplay among the repulsive forces between skyrmions, thermal spin–orbit torques, entropic forces and magnonic spin torques. The thermally generated skyrmions can also be electrically detected via the Nernst voltage.
