Solid-State Lithium Ion Supercapacitor for Voltage Control of Skyrmions.

Ionic control of magnetism gives rise to high magnetoelectric coupling efficiencies at low voltages, which is essential for low-power magnetism-based nonconventional computing technologies. However, for on-chip applications, magnetoionic devices typically suffer from slow kinetics, poor cyclability, impractical liquid architectures, or strong ambient effects. As a route to overcoming these problems, we demonstrate a LiPON-based solid-state ionic supercapacitor with a magnetic Pt/CoFeB/Pt thin-film electrode which enables voltage control of a magnetic skyrmion state.
