Popis: It is widely believed that the skyrmion Hall effect, often disruptive for device applications, vanishes for overall topologically trivial structures such as (synthetic) antiferromagnetic skyrmions and skyrmioniums due to a compensation of Magnus forces. In this manuscript, however, we report that in contrast to the case of spin-transfer torque driven skyrmion motion, this notion is generally false for spin-orbit torque driven objects. We show that the skyrmion Hall angle is directly related to their helicity and imposes an unexpected roadblock for developing faster and lower input racetrack memories based on spin-orbit torques.
