This lecture explores the concept of magnetic race tracks and skyrmions, focusing on the creation, motion, detection, and manipulation of skyrmions in nanomagnetic tracks. The discussion covers the switching behavior of realized one-bit full adders, the structure of racetrack memory, and the principles behind field-driven and current-driven motion of skyrmions. Various challenges related to materials, Magnus force, and thermal stability are also addressed. The lecture delves into the practical applications of skyrmions in electronics, emphasizing the importance of magnetic field strength, distances among magnets, and the role of helper blocks in circuit behavior.
