Latest Skyrmion Stories

Researchers find magnetic skyrmions in atomically thin metal filmPhysicists at Hamburg and Kiel University and the Forschungszentrum Jülich have found for the first time a regular lattice of magnetic skyrmions "“ cycloidal vortex spin structures of exceptional stability "“ on a surface. This fascinating magnetic structure was discovered experimentally at the University of Hamburg by spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscopy and imaged on the atomic scale. Theoreticians at the...
