We performed a temperature-modulated first-order reversal curve (FORC) study on a Pt/Co/Fe/Ir magnetic stack that exhibited a magnetic phase transition from isolated skyrmions to skyrmion lattice with increasing temperature. Using in situ magneto-optical Kerr imaging, a generalized description of do...
