Frustration-driven magnetic fluctuations as the origin of the low-temperature skyrmion phase in Co7Zn7Mn6

Abstract In chiral cubic helimagnets, phases of magnetic skyrmions—topologically protected spin whirls—are stabilized by thermal fluctuations over a narrow region directly below the magnetic ordering temperature T c. Due to often being touted for use in applications, there is a high demand to identi...
