The properties of isolated chiral skyrmions in thin magnetic films

Axisymmetric solitonic states ( chiral skyrmions ) were first predicted theoretically more than two decades ago. However, until recently they have been observed in a form of skyrmionic condensates (hexagonal lattices and other mesophases). In this paper we report experimental and theoretical investi...
