Phase diagram of the magnetic ground state of an Rh/Pd/2Fe/2Ir multilayer as visualized in the inset. The energy of the SSDW state (SS) is the black line used as reference energy. The energy of the FM state and the skyrmion lattice (SkX) are given in green and red, respectively. The energies are determined by Monte-Carlo simulations with parameters as given in the text.(Adapted from the SI of Ref. [27])

Magnetic skyrmions in chiral magnets are two-dimensionally localized and topologically protected vortex-like magnetic textures with particle-like properties. They are currently under intense scrutiny as an entity enabling new and exciting concepts in information storage and processing within the framework of spintronics. Their stability results fro...
