Examining the Magnetic Skyrmion Phase in GaV₄S₈
A PHAROS laser equipped with an I-OPA was used to investigate the magnetic skyrmion phase in GaV₄S₈. It was found that skyrmions show a coherent spin precession that can be detected using an ultrafast magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) experiment. The optical detection of the skyrmion phase is crucial for its use in future spintronics … Continue reading
