Absence of critical thickness for polar skyrmions with breaking the Kittel’s law

Abstract The period of polar domain (d) in ferroics was commonly believed to scale with corresponding film thicknesses (h), following the classical Kittel’s law of d ∝ $$\sqrt{h}$$ h . Here, we have not only observed that this relationship fails in the case of polar skyrmions, where the period shrin...
