Skyrmion formation in a bulk chiral magnet at zero magnetic field and above room temperature

K. Karube, J. S. White, D. Morikawa +7

We report that in a $\beta$-Mn-type chiral magnet Co${}_9$Zn${}_9$Mn${}_2$, skyrmions are realized as a metastable state over a wide temperature range, including room temperature, via field-…
