Geometry-induced motion of magnetic skyrmions in curved ferro- and antiferromagnetic films — •Kostiantyn V. Yershov1,2, Attila Kákay3, and Volodymyr P.

Here, we present the effect of the spontaneous drift of a magnetic skyrmion in curved films under the action of the curvature gradients without any external stimuli [1]. The strength of the curvature-induced driving is determined by the type of the intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, while the trajectory is determined by the type of magnetic ordering: ferro- or antiferromagnetic. Using rigid particle approximation, we show that for the case of Néel skyrmion the driving force is linear with respect to the gradient of the curvature, while for Bloch skyrmion the driving is proportional to the product of mean curvature and its gradient. During the motion along the surface, skyrmion experiences deformation which depends on the skyrmion type. Equations of motion for Néel and Bloch magnetic skyrmions in curved ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials are obtained in terms of collective variables. [1] K.
