From: 3D quasi-skyrmions in thick cylindrical and dome-shape soft nanodots
(a) Magnetic configurations (corresponding to the different magnetic energy minima) in Permalloy hemispherical nanodots of radius R = 30 nm: (i) 1—Néel quasi-skyrmion, (ii) 2—‘Flower-like’ state, (iii) 3—Bloch point, (iv) 4—vortex and (v) 5—in-plane single domain (SD). Arrows stand out for the direction of the magnetization and are coloured according to the out-of-plane magnetization component. (b) The different contributions and total magnetic energy values of these magnetization configurations.
