Minimum energy path of antiskyrmion collapse. Total energies of the spin configurations of an antiskyrmion collapse into the ferromagnetic state over the reaction coordinate corresponding to the progress of the collapse. The energies are given relative to the initial state, i.e. the isolated antiskyrmion. Insets show the isolated antiskyrmion and the saddle point configuration. In this simulation the full set of DFT parameters for fcc-Pd/Fe/Ir(111) were used.
