The Brownian motion of walls and skyrmions is shown to obey markedly different diffusion laws as a function of the damping parameter. Topology related skyrmion diffusion suppression with vanishing damping parameter, albeit already documented, is shown to be restricted to ultra-small skyrmion sizes or, equivalently, to ultra-low damping coefficients, possibly hampering observation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-06-08T14:19:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "magnetic domain walls", "brownian motion", "diffusion constants", "topology related skyrmion diffusion suppression", "damping parameter" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
