The Story So Far

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Chiral and Topological Nature of Magnetic Skyrmions

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

  • 794 Accesses

Abstract

Over the past years, an increasing number of materials have been identified to host magnetic skyrmions. Before starting, it is therefore necessary to properly classify the magnetic skyrmions found so far, and sort them into the categories using an experimentalist’s point of view.
