Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a magnetoresistance (MR) element includes a free layer. In some embodiments, the free layer also includes a vortex layer comprising a vortex and a skyrmion layer magnetically coupled to the vortex layer. In some embodiments, in the skyrmion layer is configured to form skyrmions that reduce annihilation of the vortex thereby increasing a linear response range of the MR element. In some embodiments, the MR element is a tunneling magnetoresistance element or a giant magnetoresistance element. In some embodiments, the MR element includes a barrier layer, wherein the vortex layer is closer to the barrier layer than the skyrmion layer.
