Abstract

The bilayer skyrmion composed of upper and lower tightly coupled skyrmions on two layers with completely compensated topological charges (called as antitopology here), has become one feasible improvement of conventional skyrmion to realize straight motion without skyrmion Hall effect, which has aroused great interest in practical applications. The present work investigates a general model (without external magnetic field) for the frustration-induced antitopological bilayer magnetic textures with rich morphologies, and discusses the modulations of key parameters on the energy barrier and the current-driven dynamics. It is revealed that the interlayer coupling plays a key role in preventing distortion, and thus helps to reach a faster velocity. This model can be realized in various frustrated magnetic materials with an antiferromagnetically coupled bilayer, providing helpful guidance for the material design and application of topological magnetic textures.
