Antiferromagnetic skyrmion emerging in a ferromagnet with gain
2018
We present a theoretical mapping to show that a ferromagnet with gain (loss) is equivalent to an antiferromagnet with an equal amount of loss (gain). As an appealing application of this finding, we demonstrate the realization as well as the manipulation of the antiferromagnetic skyrmion, a stable topological quasiparticle not yet observed experimentally, in a ferromagnetic thin film with gain. We also consider ferromagnetic bilayers with balanced gain and loss, and show that the antiferromagnetic skyrmion can be found only in the cases with broken parity-time symmetry phase. Our results pave a way for investigating the emerging antiferromagnetic spintronics and parity-time symmetric magnonics in ferromagnets.
