Breaking the topological protection of target skyrmions by the excitation of spin wave modes under microwave magnetic field

Abstract Target skyrmions have been attracting intensive attention as the building block of spintronic devices. However, due to the topological protection of these magnetic textures, an extra driving force is needed to realize the transition between different magnetic textures. Herein, we achieve the transition of these magnetic textures with the breaking of topological protection by applying perpendicular microwave magnetic field, which is assisted by the excitation of breathing modes and hybridized modes (combination of breathing modes and radial spin wave modes). Another distinct resonance mode originating from the interaction of hybridized mode and breathing mode is also found, which is excited by isolated annular domain in different positions of nanodisks. Our results provide an insight for the understanding of complex dynamic behaviors in magnetic textures and the designing of spintronics devices.
