TL;DR: In this paper, the results of spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy analyzed within the continuum and discrete models provide a consistent description of isolated skyrmions in thin layers.

TL;DR: The notion of non-trivial topological winding in condensed matter systems represents a major area of present-day theoretical and experimental research as discussed by the authors, and the potential for major breakthroughs ranging from fundamental questions to applications as driven by an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas between areas in magnetism which traditionally have been pursued rather independently.

TL;DR: In this paper, isolated chiral skyrmions were discovered in PdFe/Ir(111) bilayers and the results of spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy analyzed within the continuum and discrete models provided a consistent description of isolated skyrmsions in thin layers.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical analysis of the chiral modulations that arise in confined cubic helimagnets where the uniaxial anisotropy axis and magnetic field are both out-of-plane is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, single-crystal epitaxial MgO thin films were grown directly onto high-quality Fe single crystal and Fe whisker substrates and covered with Fe/Au layers.
