# Topological spin Hall effects and tunable skyrmion Hall effects in uniaxial antiferromagnetic insulators

## TL;DR

This paper explores how spin-polarized currents influence the transverse motion of antiferromagnetic skyrmions, revealing tunable skyrmion Hall effects and proposing a magnonic device for spin channel demultiplexing.

## Contribution

It demonstrates that spin-polarized currents can induce transverse skyrmion motion in antiferromagnets, breaking the symmetry-based cancellation observed with unpolarized currents.

## Key findings

- Spin-polarized magnon currents produce transverse skyrmion motion.
- Skyrmion Hall angle depends on frequency and magnetic order.
- Proposes a skyrmion-based magnonic demultiplexer.

## Abstract

Recent advances in the physics of current-driven antiferromagnetic skyrmions have observed the absence of a Magnus force. We outline the symmetry reasons for this phenomenon, and show that this cancellation will fail in the case of spin polarized currents. Pairing micromagnetic simulations with semiclassical spin wave transport theory, we demonstrate that skyrmions produce a spin-polarized transverse magnon current, and that spin-polarized magnon currents can in turn produce transverse motion of antiferromagnetic skyrmions. We examine qualitative differences in the frequency dependence of the skyrmion Hall angle between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic cases, and close by proposing a simple skyrmion-based magnonic device for demultiplexing of spin channels.
