Article Abstract
Magnetic skyrmions are topological spin textures that can be used as memory and logic components for advancing the next generation spintronics. In this regard, control of nanoscale skyrmions, including their sizes and densities, is of particular importance for enhancing the storage capacity of skyrmionic devices. Here, we propose a viable route for engineering ferrimagnetic skyrmions via tuning the magnetic properties of the involved ferrimagnets FeTb. Via tuning the composition of FeTb that alters the magnetic anisotropy and the saturation magnetization, the size of the ferrimagnetic skyrmion () and the average density (η) can be effectively tailored in [Pt/FeTb/Ta] multilayers. In particular, a stabilization of sub-50 nm skyrmions with a high density is demonstrated at room temperature. Our work provides an effective approach for designing ferrimagnetic skyrmions with the desired size and density, which could be useful for enabling high-density ferrimagnetic skyrmionics.

Superlattices (SLs) based on two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials, abbreviated as 2D-SLs, have garnered significant attention due to their customizable properties. 2D-SLs can be engineered by mechanical stacking or chemical intercalation to achieve diverse forms of symmetry breaking, resulting in exotic phenomena like the quantum anomalous Hall effect and topological magnetism. Hitherto, broken symmetries in 2D-SLs have been widely produced within lateral planes or three dimensions.

Kagomé lattice magnets have recently garnered significant interest due to the pronounced transverse transport characteristics, particularly in thermoelectric and spintronic applications, stemming from the interplay between topology and magnetism. Here, a comprehensive investigation of the magnetic, electrical, and thermoelectric transport properties, as well as the complex spin configurations, is conducted in a polycrystalline Kagomé ferromagnet GdCo. Strikingly, a giant anomalous Hall conductivity ≈2125 S cm is obtained at T = 10 K, which is primarily governed by the extrinsic skew-scattering mechanism.

Skyrmions are a class of topologically protected spin textures that may be stabilized by chiral interactions in noncentrosymmetric materials and hold promise for applications in spintronics. Thus far, only a handful of candidate van der Waals (vdW) materials that could host skyrmions have been proposed. We explore a large number of candidate Janus monolayers based on the crystal structures of MnSe and CrClO for their potential to host skyrmions.

Topological defects, or singularities, play a key role in the statics and dynamics of complex systems. In magnetism, Bloch point singularities represent point defects that mediate the nucleation of textures such as skyrmions and hopfions. While these textures are typically stabilised in chiral magnets, the influence of chirality and symmetry breaking on Bloch point singularities remains relatively unexplored.

The layered compound FeGaTe is attracting attention due to its high Curie temperature, low dimensionality, and the presence of topological spin textures above room temperature, making FeGaTe a good candidate for applications in spintronics. Here, we show, through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, that FeGaTe single crystals break local inversion symmetry while maintaining global inversion symmetry according to X-ray diffraction. Coupled to the observation of Néel skyrmions via Lorentz-TEM, our structural analysis provides a convincing explanation for their presence in centrosymmetric materials.
