Fig. 3

Ratio of the elastic energy of the 2e skyrmion to the particle-hole band gap in the nearly chiral (orange) and realistic (purple) limits, with stiffness and gap values extracted from self-consistent Hartree-Fock. Below the gray dashed line, the skyrmion energy lies within the particle-hole gap. Note that w0 and w1 are the interlayer hoppings in AA- and AB-stacked regions [see (25) for details].
