Magnetic skyrmions are potential building blocks for future information storage and computing devices. Here, we computationally study the skyrmion dynamics in a cross structure made of two ferromagnetic nanotracks. We show that by controlling the skyrmion motion in the cross structure using spin currents, it is possible to realize the transcription of skyrmion at the intersection of the cross structure at certain conditions. Based on the transcription of skyrmion, we computationally demonstrate the AND, OR and NOT logical gates using the cross structures with modified geometries and appropriate magnetic parameters. Our results may provide guidelines to design future three-dimensional spintronics devices based on magnetic skyrmions.
