Abstract
It was recently demonstrated that introducing the shape anisotropy of a skyrmion is an alternative strategy for controlling the skyrmion Hall effect. For example, an elliptical skyrmion shows anisotropic motion under the applied driving force. Here, we study the fundamental properties of an elliptical skyrmion induced by uniaxial in-plane magnetic anisotropy. The dynamics of a skyrmion under various parameters, such as uniaxial in-plane magnetic anisotropy, interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, and the damping constant, are investigated, and we employ Thiele's theory and derive expressions for the velocity of the skyrmion that match very well with micromagnetic simulation results. We find that the skyrmion Hall angle can reach ${90}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ with the optimized angle between the in-plane easy axis and the current. Our results offer a potential application of racetrack memory based on skyrmions, and a type of racetrack configuration was designed.
