Voltage-controlled bimeron diode-like effect in nanoscale information channel

The magnetic bimeron, as the in-plane counterpart of the magnetic skyrmion, has potential applications in next-generation spin memory devices due to its lower energy consumption. In this work, the dynamic behavior of a current-driven bimeron in a nanotrack with voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) is investigated. By adjusting the profile of the VCMA, the bimeron can display a diode-like unidirectional behavior in the nanotrack. The unidirectional behavior can be modulated by changing the driven current density and width of the VCMA region. The trajectory of the bimeron can also be controlled by the periodic VCMA region, which can enhance the stability of bimeron and realize a high-storage density bimeron-based information channel.
