Abstract
Skyrmions are quasi-particles proposed theoretically by the English physicist Tony Skyrme in 1960 for stabilizing hadrons as quantized topological defects. The idea of ¿¿the skyrmion as a magnetic texture was proposed in theoretical form in 1989, and confirmed experimentally only in 2009 in MnSi. Some of the most interesting characteristics of skyrmions are their nanometric size, topologi…
