Whilehomochiralskyrmionswere?rstobservedinbulkmaterialswithbrokeninversionsymmetry,multilayers stacks, such as such as Pt/Co/Ir [17], Ta/CoFeB/TaOx [21, 22], Pt/Co/Ta [19], and Pt/CoFeB/MgO

whichisresponsibleformany interesting features intheintermediate ?lm thickness regime. A single coherent theory that quickly and accurately predicts the existence and the properties of isolated skyrmions for any given point in the six-dimensional parameter space remains elusive. Here, we provide a theoretical model for all energy terms of an isolated skyrmion in a given material with in?nite in-plane extent.


the point of the Skyrmion post is this is brand spanking new info on the cutting edge of 01-100 nm energy control which in my mind means that the material energy flow can be observed and designed....as the paper says they have data on a mass scale of materials.......imo opinion things are looking up all over the place. Just flipping excited to see action!!!!
