In this study, stable antiskyrmion auto-oscillations in nanodisk geometries driven by spinpolarized currents enabled by anisotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) were demonstrated. Through systematic comparisons of isotropic and anisotropic DMI systems, we uncover distinct topological stabilization mechanisms and current–density-dependent dynamics.

Notably, antiskyrmions sustain current densities up to 400 % of the annihilation thresholds for conventional skyrmions, attributed to their unique chirality-dependent force equilibration. The tangential velocity of antiskyrmions reaches 587 m/s at 15 × 10<sup>11</sup> A·m<sup>−2</sup>, governed by competing dependencies on current density and size contraction.
