Skrymions nucleation in CoFeB amorphous nanodisks: A simulation study
Mohamed El Hafidi

The emergence of topological structures, such as magnetic skyrmions and vortices gave a great push in memories
construction. In this work, we investigate skyrmions nucleation and annihilation, and their stabilization in an amorphous
ferromagnetic Co0.400Fe0.40B0.20/Pt(1.3nm) nanodisk (Fig.1.). This kind of nanomaterials are characterized by their strong
perpendicular magnetic anisotropy PMA and high interface Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction iDMI values (0 < D <0.45 mJ/
m2) depending on the platinum layer thickness providing ideal conditions for skyrmions birth. Notice that skyrmions are
promising for ultracompact data storage processing and may open up emerging field of potential applications. This study is
accomplished within the framework of a phenomenological continuum model established to characterize the chiral states in
the system. Simulations are carried out using Mumax3 software. We show that iDMI We show that iDMI favors the appearance
of skyrmions in a limited range. We also elucidate the effect of a magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the plane of the
nanodisk as well as the diameter of the nanodisk on the skyrmions stabilization.
