Chirality reversal of vortices induced by surface acoustic waves by Shuai Mi, Jinxuan Shi, Huibo Liu, Huiliang Wu, Huifang Qiao, Jianing Wang, Jie Dong, Xiaolei Li, Jiangtao Xue, Xiangqian Wang, Jianbo Wang, Qingfang Liu

“…While with the help of the third and fifth harmonics of the acoustic fundamental frequency, besides the changes in magnetic state, some vortices also change their chirality. The reason for this change is that the spin–vorticity coupling induced by the SAW leads to a change in the macroscopic magnetic moment through angular momentum transfer between the mechanical and electron spins. …”
