In this study, we use micromagnetic simulation to investigate the motion of skyrmionium, when a spin-polarized current is applied along the x-direction using the Spin-Transfer Torque (STT). We report the dependence of skyrmionium dynamics on the geometry of the track. In symmetric track, skyrmionium moves in both directions, whereas in asymmetric track, it moves in one direction while getting blocked in the other, similar to semiconductor diode effect. This shows the possibility of building a skyrmionium diode with a velocity of 75–100 m/s. We validate the dynamics using a modified Thiele equation to support the simulation results. In addition to current-driven dynamics, we have also examined the response of skyrmionium motion to spin wave excitations. By applying an oscillating magnetic field with different frequencies, we have observed a strong frequency dependence in the motion, including enhancements in velocity at specific frequencies. This suggests that resonant conditions can enhance controlled skyrmionium motion, opening up new ways to tune their behaviour.

Since aluminum is soft, finishing forces must be carefully controlled, making the manual finishing approach more expensive as compared to harder materials. Ball end magnetorheological (MR) finishing is a way to subjugate the limitations of manual finishing as it allows for precise control of the finishing forces. However, given the non-magnetic nature of aluminum, finishing cannot be done at a lower magnetizing current and takes longer time to finish. Therefore, the design of a ball end MR finishing tool that can withstand higher magnetizing current and operate for extended period of time without overheating is necessary. This study addresses the gap in electromagnet design for ball end MR finishing of aluminum (Al-6063 alloy), commonly used in molds and metallic mirrors.

The two phenomena are at the forefront of understanding the nature of conventional and nonconventional superconductivity in light of quantum correlation between the spin and conduction. In this context, the energy bands topology around the Fermi surface (FS) plays a crucial role, since the FS is the hallmark of novel materials such as semimetals, topological insulators, Weyl metals, heavy fermions, and superconductors. For instance, the non-dispersive flat bands near the FS shows strong magnetism and heavy fermionic nature, while the conical dispersive bands show strong conductivity. The competitive interplay between the superconducting, heavy fermionic, and magnetic attributes of quantum materials can be manipulated by tuning the topological morphology of the FS. The same can be accomplished by modifying the intensity of density of states and shapes of energy bands near the FS by chemical doping and substitution, etc. Hereby, we report on the interplay and coexistence of the phenomena of unconventional superconductivity and magnetism in the heavy fermions PrAs by Ga substitution by tuning the FS of PrAs via PrGa<sub>x</sub>As<sub>1-x</sub> (x = 0 %, 25 %, 50 %, 75 % &100 %) alloys.

To account for the exchange-correlation effects, GGA + PBE corrected density approximation is employed. The major part in the density of states around the Fermi energy level stems from the Pr-5d4f and the (Ga + As)-4p orbital states. As compared with spin magnetic moments of PrAs alloys, an enhancement in spin magnetic moments is predicted by increasing the Ga/As ratio in light of PrGaAs alloys. The computed results predict a considerable modification in the intensity, flatness, curvature, and width of energy bands and hence the morphology of the FS of PrAs compounds on varying the Ga/As doping ratio.
