Figure 6. Hysteresis loops and obtained zero-field skyrmionic states with different orientations.

Figure 6

The average out-of-plane magnetisation component Inline graphic hysteretic dependence on the external out-of-plane magnetic field Inline graphic for Inline graphic thin film disk samples for (a) incomplete Skyrmion (iSk) magnetisation configuration in Inline graphic diameter sample and (b) isolated Skyrmion (Sk) magnetisation configuration in Inline graphic diameter sample. (c) The magnetisation states and Inline graphic profiles along the horizontal symmetry lines for positive and negative iSk and Sk core orientations from Inline graphic in the hysteresis loop, both in presence and in absence of demagnetisation energy (demagnetisation-based shape anisotropy).
