Magnetic skyrmion is a promising building block for developing information storage and computing devices. It can be
stabilized in a ferromagnetic thin film with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). The moving ferromagnetic
skyrmion may show the skyrmion Hall effect, that is, the skyrmion shows a transverse shift when it is driven by a
spin current. Here, we numerically and theoretically study the current-driven dynamics of a ferromagnetic nanoscale
skyrmion in the presence of the anisotropic DMI, where the skyrmion has an elliptical shape. The skyrmion Hall effect
of the elliptical skyrmion is investigated. It is found that the skyrmion Hall angle can be controlled by tuning the profile
of elliptical skyrmion. Our results reveal the relation between the skyrmion shape and the skyrmion Hall effect, which
could be useful for building skyrmion-based spintronic devices with preferred skyrmion Hall angle. Also, our results
provide a method for the minimization of skyrmion Hall angle for applications based on in-line motion of skyrmions.

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically non-trivial spin textures,1–9 which can be used to build future memories,10–13
logic computing devices,14 and bio-inspired computing devices.15–18 The magnetic skyrmion in a ferromagnetic thin
film can be created and driven into motion by spin currents.19
However, it may experience the skyrmion Hall effect,20–22 that
is, the skyrmion shows a transverse displacement due to the
topological Magnus force acted on the skyrmion. In order to
build some skyrmion-based spintronic devices using the inline motion feature of skyrmions, it is necessary to eliminate
the skyrmion Hall effect since the skyrmion Hall effect may
lead to the destruction of skyrmions at sample edges. Several
proposals have been proposed to eliminate the skyrmion Hall
effect, for examples, the skyrmion Hall effect can be avoided
in the synthetic antiferromagnetic bilayers23,24 and antiferromagnetic thin films.25,26
On the other hand, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction
(DMI) is an essential interaction to stabilize the magnetic
skyrmion in bulk and thin-film materials.2,3,5–9,27 The interfical DMI28–33 can be induced at the interface between a heavy
metal and ferromagnet. The bulk DMI34–36 can be induced by
introducing impurities with large spin-orbit coupling in ferromagnets. Both the two types of DMIs are arisen by the
inversion-symmetry-broken structure.
Recently, elliptical skyrmions have been found in some experiments.37–39 It is found that the DMI can be anisotropic
in the Co/W(110) stack with a C2v symmetry, where the
DMI strength is 2 − 3 times larger along bcc[1̄10] than along
bcc[001].40 When the strength of the DMI in two directions
are different, the shape of skyrmion is elliptical rather than circular.41,42 Recent studies show that the shape of skyrmion has

an impact on spin wave modes and skyrmion Hall effect.43,44
In this work, we report the current-driven dynamics of an elliptical skyrmion, which is stabilized by the anisotropic DMI
in a ferromagnetic thin film. The motion of the elliptical
skyrmion driven by the spin-orbit torque is investigated by
both numerical and theoretical methods. It is found that the
skyrmion Hall effect of the elliptical skyrmion can be reduced
to some extent compared to the case of circular skyrmion.
We perform micromagnetic simulations by using the Object Oriented MicroMagnetic Framework (OOMMF) developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST).45 In the presence of the spin-orbit torque, the magnetization dynamics is governed by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert
(LLG) equation augmented with a damping-like torque11,45

In our simulations, we model an ultra-thin ferromagnetic
film with a side length of 200 nm and a thickness of a = 0.4
nm. The mesh size is set as 1 × 1 × 0.4 nm3 . The intrinsic magnetic material parameters are adopted from Ref. 10:
the ferromagnetic exchange constant A = 15 pJ/m, saturation magnetization MS = 0.58 MA/m, and PMA constant
K = 0.8 MJ/m3 . Dx and Dy vary from 2.5 mJ/m2 to 3.7
mJ/m2 . For the motion of skyrmion, the driving current density is set as 15 × 1010 A/m2 . We also assume that p = +ŷ
and θSH = 0.08. The injection duration of driving current is
fixed at 7 ns.
Figure 1 illustrates the isotropic and anisotropy DMIs and
the corresponding skyrmion configurations. For the isotropic
case, Dx = Dy = D and a circular skyrmion will be obtained
for relaxed system, as shown in Fig. 1(b). For the anisotropic
case, Dx 6= Dy . The relaxed skyrmion will be deformed to
have an elliptical shape, as shown in Fig. 1(d).
We first micromagnetically simulate the relaxed configuration of skyrmion in the sample of 200 nm × 200 nm.
Figure 2(a) and 2(b) show that both ask and bsk increases
with Dx and Dy (see Supplementary Information). Moreover, it is found that the anisotropic DMI leads to the formation of an elliptical skyrmion. For example, as shown
in Fig. 2(c), ask is larger than bsk when Dx < Dy while
smaller when Dx > Dy [see Fig. 2(d)], which are consistent with the results in Ref. 42 (see Supplementary Informa-

tion for the relation between ask /bsk and Dy /Dx ). When
Dx = Dy = 3.7 mJ/m2 , a circular skyrmion is obtained
with a radius of 29.5 nm. The radius of circular skyrmion increases from 3.5 nm to 29.5 nm when the strength of DMI
varies from 2.5 mJ/m2 to 3.7 mJ/m2 . This results agree

It should be mentioned that the skyrmion number Q for the elliptical and circular skyrmions are the same.
We next investigate the motion of skyrmion driven by the
spin-orbit torque. Initially, the relaxed skyrmion is located at
the center of the sample with a side length of 200 nm. The
spin current can be injected by utilizing the spin Hall effect
in the heavy-metal substrate. Figure 3(a) shows the skyrmion
Hall angle θSkHE as functions of Dx and Dy . It can be seen
that θSkHE decreases with increasing Dx and Dy . In Fig. 3(b),
for Dx = 3.7 mJ/m2 , the skyrmion Hall angle decreases from
70.3◦ to 46.9◦ when Dy increases from 2.5 mJ/m2 to 3.7
mJ/m2 . The major axis of elliptical skyrmion is along the yaxis, as shown in Fig. 2(d). Similarly, for Dy = 3.7 mJ/m2 ,
the skyrmion Hall angle decreases with increasing Dy . However, the major axis of elliptical skyrmion is along the x-axis,
as shown in Fig. 2(c). It is noteworthy that the skyrmion Hall
angle depends on the direction of the major axis of the elliptical skyrmion. For example, the elliptical skyrmion has
ask = 11.5 nm and bsk = 15.5 nm when Dx = 3.7 mJ/m2 and
Dy = 3.0 mJ/m2 , of which θSkHE = 67.3◦ . When Dx = 3.0
mJ/m2 and Dy = 3.7 mJ/m2 , the elliptical skyrmion has
ask = 15.5 nm and bsk = 11.5 nm, of which θSkHE = 57.6◦ .
Namely, the elliptical skyrmion with a major axis along the
x-axis has a smaller skyrmion Hall angle compared with the
one with the same area but a major axis along the y-axis.

Figure 4(a) shows the relaxed skyrmion for the case of
Dx = Dy = 3.4 mJ/m2 . A circular skyrmion is obtained with
a radius of 12.5 nm. Figure 4(b) shows the straight trajectory of the circular skyrmion driven by the spin-orbit torque,
of which the skyrmion Hall angle is equal to 64.1◦ (see Supplementary Video 1). Figure 4(c) shows the relaxed skyrmion
for the case of Dx = 3.7 mJ/m2 and Dy = 2.7 mJ/m2 . The
anisotropic DMI leads to an elliptical skyrmion with ask = 9.5
nm and bsk = 12.5 nm. The skyrmion Hall angle is 69.3◦ .
Compared to the isotropic case, θSkHE is increased. The dependence of skyrmion Hall angle on ask when bsk = 12.5 nm
is shown in Fig. 4(d). It is found that θSkHE almost linearly decreases with increasing ask , which indicates that the skyrmion
Hall angle decreases when the skyrmion is stretched in the
x direction. When ask = 16.5 nm, the skyrmion Hall angle
decreases to 56.6◦ (see Supplementary Video 1). Figure 4(e)
shows the top view of the skyrmion when Dx = 3.7 mJ/m2
and Dy = 3.1 mJ/m2 , where ask = 12.5 nm and bsk = 16.5
nm. When the skyrmion is driven by the spin-orbit torque,
the skyrmion Hall angle θSkHE = 66.2◦ (see Supplementary
Video 1), which is larger than the one for the isotropic case
(64.1◦ ). It can be seen from Fig. 4(f) that θSkHE increases
when the skyrmion is stretched in the y direction. It should be
mentioned that the same results can be obtained if the fieldlike torque is included (see Supplementary Information).
In order to understand the micromagnetic simulation results, we use the Thiele equation to describe the current-driven
motion of skyrmion,48,49

contour of the circle skyrmion (mz = 0) while the black oval is the
contour of the elliptical skyrmion (mz = 0). The blue curves in (d)
and (f) are the fitting results obtained by Eq. 4.
We further estimate the value of Dyy . The magnetic
skyrmion profile can be expressed as m(r) = m(θ, φ) =
(sin θ cos φ, sin θ sin φ, cos θ), where θ(r) linearly changes
from π at the center to 0 at the edge. Such an assumption holds
true for nanoscale compact skyrmions. φ(r) = Qv ϕ + η and
r = (x, y) = (ask r cos ϕ, bsk r sin ϕ). Qv and η are the vorticity and helicity of the magnetic skyrmion, respectively. In
this work, the magnetic skyrmion with a skyrmion number of
Q = +1 has a skyrmion vorticity of Qv = +1 and helicity of
2
η = 0. Then, we can obtain that Dyy = π8basksk . Therefore, the
skyrmion Hall angle can be expressed as
θSkHE = arctan(

From Eq. 4, it can be seen that the skyrmion Hall angle decreases with increasing ask while increases with increasing
bsk . The fitting data with Eq. 4 are given in Fig. 4(d) and 4(f)
as blue curves. It can be seen that the analytical solutions are
in line with the micromagnetic simulation results.
In conclusion, we have studied the current-driven motion of
an elliptical skyrmion stabilized by the anisotropic DMI. It is
found that the skyrmion Hall angle decreases with increasing
ask , which indicates that the skyrmion Hall effect can be reduced when the major axis of the elliptical skyrmions is along
the x-axis. However, the skyrmion Hall angle increases with
increasing bsk , which shows that the skyrmion Hall effect is
enhanced when the major axis of the elliptical skyrmion is
along the y-axis. Here, it should be mentioned that these results are valid when the spin current polarization is along the
+y direction, corresponding to the spin-orbit torque generated by the spin Hall effect. In this case, the driving current should be applied along the long axis direction to minimize the skyrmion Hall angle. Nevertheless, for arbitrary
spin current polarization or spin-orbit torque mechanism, it
is always possible to find the best current direction to minimize the skyrmion Hall angle when the skyrmion is elliptical. The minimization of skyrmion Hall angle is important for
spintronic devices based on the in-line motion of skyrmions,
such as the racetrack-type memory. The reason is that large
skyrmion Hall angle may lead to the destruction of skyrmions
at sample edges. Also, it is worth mentioning that when the elliptical skyrmion is driven by the spin-transfer torque, similar
results can be found (see Supplementary Information).
See Supplementary Information for top views of skyrmion
for different values of Dx and Dy , and the skyrmion Hall
angle of the elliptical skyrmion driven by the spin transfer
torque. The Supplementary Video 1 shows the current-driven
motion of circular and elliptical skyrmions.
