Topological melting of the metastable skyrmion lattice in the chiral magnet Co${}_9$Zn${}_9$Mn${}_2$

Victor Ukleev, Daisuke Morikawa, Kosuke Karube +6

In a $\beta$-Mn-type chiral magnet Co${}_9$Zn${}_9$Mn${}_2$, we demonstrate that the magnetic field-driven collapse of a room temperature metastable topological skyrmion lattice passes throu…
