Data volumes have been on a major upturn since the beginning of the decade and are about to rise even faster now that Big Data and the Internet of Things are ramping up. The application of topological spin solitons to magnetic data storage and information processing is anticipated to be a potential solution to this ever-increasing demand. In order to achieve this vision, a detailed understanding of the spin solitons static and dynamic properties is required for a tailored design of future devices. Within this project, we will develop the platform for high-resolution magnetic characterisation of spin texture dynamics in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) in combination with transport measurements. With its world-leading expertise in advanced microscopy and electronic device fabrication and characterisation, the University of Sydney, provides the perfect environment for the proposed research. The outcome of this work will be the first ever volume-sensitive investigation into how spin textures behave dynamically at the nanometer scale.
