Neutrons Reveal Skyrmion Stabilization Mechanism

Published:

Scientific Achievement: Neutron scattering measurements revealed the magnetic interactions that stabilize a swirling spin texture known as a skyrmion crystal within a centrosymmetric magnetic material.

Significance and Impact: This work establishes an interaction space that can promote skyrmion formation, facilitating identification and design of centrosymmetric crystals with higher skyrmion densities for next-generation microelectronics.
