Skyrmion stability in nanocontact spin-transfer oscillators

We investigate the conditions for nanocontact spin-transfer oscillators (NC-STOs) that allow for stabilization of a skyrmion. Emphasis is made on the breathing mode, which can be regarded as a source of microwave generation. Micromagnetic simulations of NC-STOs with varying parameters have been perf...
