Within a decade, the field of magnetic skyrmionics has developed from a niche prediction to
a huge and active research field. Not only do magnetic skyrmions—magnetic whirls with a …

Magnetic skyrmions are particle-like nanometre-sized spin textures of topological origin
found in several magnetic materials, and are characterized by a long lifetime. Skyrmions …

Magnetic skyrmions are chiral spin structures with a whirling configuration. Their topological
properties, nanometre size and the fact that they can be moved by small current densities …

Facing the ever-growing demand for data storage will most probably require a new
paradigm. Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are anticipated to solve this issue as they are …

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stable spin configurations, which usually originate
from chiral interactions known as Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions. Skyrmion lattices were …

In this topical review, we will discuss recent advances in the field of skyrmionics
(fundamental and applied aspects) mainly focusing on skyrmions that can be realized in thin …

Topological defects play a key role in a variety of physical systems, ranging from high-
energy to solid-state physics. A skyrmion is a type of topological defect that has shown …

Symmetry breaking together with strong spin–orbit interaction gives rise to many exciting
