A magnetic skyrmionium (also called 2π-skyrmion) can be understood as a skyrmion — a topologically non-trivial magnetic whirl — which is situated in the center of a second skyrmion with reversed magnetization.
In this contribution, we propose a new optoelectrical writing and deleting mechanism for skyrmioniums in thin films, as well as a reading mechanism based on the topological Hall voltage. Furthermore, we point out advantages for utilizing skyrmioniums as carriers of information in comparison to skyrmions with respect to the current-driven motion.
We simulate all four constituents of an operating skyrmionium-based racetrack storage device: creation, motion, detection and deletion of bits. The existence of a skyrmionium is thereby interpreted as ‘1’ and its absence as ‘0’ bit.
