文摘Skyrmions are very promising for applications in spintronics and magnetic memory.It is desired to manipulate and operate a single skyrmion.Here we report on the thermal effect on the motion of current-driven magnetic Skyrmions in magnetic metal.The results show that the magnon current induced by the thermal gradient acts on Skyrmions via magnonic spin-transfer torque,an effect of the transverse and longitudinal Skyrmions drift velocities,thus leading to the effective manipulation of the Hall angle through the ratio of thermal gradient to electric current density,which can be used as a Skyrmion valve.
