Effect of Chiral Damping on the dynamics of chiral domain walls and skyrmions

Abstract

Chiral damping plays a critical role in the motion of skyrmions and domain walls, but it difficult to distinguish its influence from Dzyaloshinskii Moriya Interaction (DMI). Here, Safeer et al show that competition between chiral damping and the DMI result in a sign change in the chiral asymmetry.
