Fig. 1

a A schematic of a localized Bloch-type skyrmion spin texture. The arrows represent the magnetic moment and their colors represent the vertical component of the magnetization with blue as up and red as down. b Top: the atomic unit cell of FeGe with B20 crystal structure with broken inversion symmetry. Bottom: the atomic layer structure of FeGe for (111)-oriented films, showing a sequence of dense and sparse atomic layers of Fe and Ge.
