Helicoidal structure in a 150 nm wide FeGe nanodisk
Antisymmetric magnetic systems has been of much importance in the last years due to the stabilisation of complex magnetic structures, such as skyrmions, which have been regarded as potential candidates to revolutionize spintronics. Specifically, skyrmions can be applied to information storage technologies, however their stability has not been studied in detail so far. This project tries to give a general idea about the stability of skyrmions (and other complex chiral structures), in order to analyse their reliability as information carriers.
