Abstract
A skyrmion generation method capable of reducing power consumption in generating skyrmions is provided. In the skyrmion generation method, an electric field is applied to an insulating magnetic body having a chiral crystal structure locally using an electric field generation unit while a magnetic field is applied from a magnetic field generation unit to the magnetic body. As a result, a skyrmion is generated in the magnetic body. The magnetic body preferably has a thin film shape with a thickness in a range of 2 to 300 nm at least partially, and the magnetic field generation unit preferably applies the magnetic field to a surface of the magnetic body substantially perpendicularly.
