説明

Using resistance fluctuation spectroscopy, we observe current-induced narrow-band noise (NBN) in the magnetic skyrmion-lattice phase of micrometer-sized MnSi. The NBN appears only when electric-current density exceeds a threshold value, indicating that the current-driven motion of the skyrmion lattice triggers the NBN. The observed NBN frequency is $10--{10}^{4}$ Hz at $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{9}\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{A}/{\mathrm{m}}^{2}$, implying a skyrmion steady-flow velocity of $1--100\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$, 3--5 orders of magnitude slower than previously reported. The temperature evolution of the NBN frequency suggests that the steady flow entails thermally activated processes, which are most likely due to skyrmion creation and annihilation at the sample edges. This scenario is qualitatively supported by our numerical simulations considering boundary effects, which reveals that the edges limit the steady flow of skyrmions, especially at low temperatures. We discuss a mechanism that dramatically slows the skyrmion steady flow in a microfabricated specimen.
