Chiral and topological nature of magnetic skyrmions

<p>This work focuses on characterising the chiral and topological nature of magnetic skyrmions in noncentrosymmetric helimagnets. In these materials, the skyrmion lattice phase appears as a long-range-ordered, close-packed lattice of nearly millimetre-level correlation length, while the size o...
