In forward bias, the skyrmion Hall effect steers skyrmions into the widening side of the junction, enabling forward transport. In reverse bias, Hall deflection toward the narrowed side; in all types of skyrmions, this leads to reflection back into the injection arm. Time Stamps indicate intervals between frames for each size case.
