Edge states and skyrmion dynamics in nanostripes of frustrated magnets

The interaction between electric currents and magnetic textures in frustrated magnetic materials leads to rich nonlinear dynamics. Here, the authors show how currents can be used to control topology of edge states in nanostripes by inducing the emission and absorption of skyrmions.
