Zero-field skyrmionic states and in-field edge-skyrmions induced by boundary tuning

When skyrmions are travelling along a given path their motion is impaired by the skyrmion Hall effect which causes them to veer towards the edges of their track rather than to continue in a linear direction. To help counteract this issue, the authors investigate skyrmion edge interactions demonstrat...
