Stability and metastability of skyrmions in thin lamellae of Cu_{2}OSeO_{3}

We report small-angle x-ray scattering measurements of the skyrmion lattice in two 200-nm-thick Cu_{2}OSeO_{3} lamellae aligned with the applied magnetic field parallel to the out of plane [110] or [100] crystallographic directions. Our measurements show that the equilibrium skyrmion phase in both s...
