Abstract

The mutual interaction between a chiral ferromagnetic disk with confined skyrmionic structures and a superconducting disk is studied. The interaction is accounted for by solving simultaneously the Brown and London equations. We find that for a superconductor under an applied uniform field, the stray field of the shielding currents can trigger switching between different skyrmionic states in the ferromagnet that is not possible without the superconductor. We discuss the effect of the different parameters on the results and some possible applications such as multivalued logic, storage, and skyrmionic metamaterials.
