A potential application of magnetic skyrmions is in racetrack memory devices. [1] While efforts have often been concentrated on the use of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic racetracks, previous work has suggested that the use of helimagnets could be more effective. [2] Here, the helices provide a means to naturally confine the skyrmions to quasi-1D channels, mitigating the skyrmion Hall effect. They additionally allow for high-speed skyrmion motion. Moreover, inspired by previous works which demonstrated electric-current-controlled skyrmion injection at magnetic impurities, [3] we propose a method of creating skyrmions in a helical background.
