Nucleation and stability of skyrmions in three-dimensional chiral nanostructures

Abstract We studied the magnetization evolution in three-dimensional chiral nanostructures, including nanotubes and circularly curved thin films, by micromagnetic simulations. We found that in a nanotube skyrmions can be formed by broken of the helical stripes on the left and right sides of the nano...
