It plays a key role in many fields, including physics, biology and economics. In particular, asymmetric or directional diffusion of particle systems has attracted growing interest for practical applications, including the development of unconventional artificial intelligence (AI) hardware, where it could enable nonlinear, geometry-controlled information processing.<\/p>\n<p>Magnetic skyrmions are topological spin textures that can behave as particle-like objects with chiral dynamics. Recent reports have shown that even tiny thermal fluctuations can drive effective diffusion of skyrmions in ultrathin magnetic films and layered heterostructures. Some experiments have also revealed a topology-dependent sideways, wall-guided motion known as the Brownian gyromotion of skyrmions when they interact in a confined space.<\/p>\n<p>Magnetic skyrmions can also exhibit exotic dynamic behaviors that cannot be reproduced by common particles. Their diffusive properties have immense potential in novel information-processing applications. However, these properties, especially in structured environments, remain largely unexplored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diffusion is a fundamental natural phenomenon that can be observed across a wide range of length and time scales.
