Magnetic skyrmions are nanoscale magnetization textures that are found in magnetic materials. In general, magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected and are relatively stable due to their topological nature. Skyrmions are quasiparticles that can be moved, nucleated and annihilated and can potent...
