Moving skyrmions in Antiferromagnets by Sublattice Displacements
Abstract
The texture in antiferromagnets hosting a topologically protected skyrmion can be viewed as two effectively coupled ferromagnetic skyrmions. Assuming rigid magnetic configurations, we show that this coupling results in an effective mass of the antiferromagnetic skyrmion and that its dynamics can be viewed as due to a relative displacement of the two sublattice ferromagnetic skyrmions. The theory holds for different antiferromagnetic systems and includes effects from dissipation and external forces caused by electric currents. We verify our analytical results by micromagnetic simulations.
