We apply spin torque uniform in space and time and observe numerically that the skyrmion is set in steady rotational motion around a point off the nanodisc center. We give a theoretical description of the emerging auto-oscillation dynamics based on the coupling of the rotational motion to the breathing mode of the skyrmion and to the associated oscillations of the in-plane magnetization. The analysis shows that the achievement of auto-oscillations in this simple set-up is due to the chiral symmetry breaking. Thus, we argue that the system is turned into a spin-torque oscillator due to the chiral DM interaction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-04T06:45:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin transfer torque", "chiral skyrmion auto-oscillations", "ferromagnet", "chiral dm interaction", "apply spin torque uniform" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
