TL;DR: The experimental manifestation of another type of skyrmions—the magnetic antiskyrmion—in acentric tetragonal Heusler compounds with D2d crystal symmetry is presented, which enlarge the family of magnetic skyr mions and pave the way to the engineering of complex bespoke designed skyrMionic structures.

TL;DR: It is shown that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction can be adjusted to stabilize either left-handed or right-handed Néel walls, or non-chiral Bloch walls by adjusting an interfacial spacer layer between the multilayers and the substrate.

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: Using spin-polarized low energy electron microscopy, a new type of domain wall structure is discovered in perpendicularly magnetized Fe/Ni bilayers grown epitaxially on Cu(100) suggesting that the underlying mechanism is the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction at the film interfaces.

TL;DR: It is shown, using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, that arrays of skyrmion can be stabilized in a tetragonal inverse Heusler with D 2d symmetry whose Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) otherwise supports antiskyrmions.
