Fig. 1: Skyrmion energy landscape.
a Occurrences of skyrmions in a 45 × 100 µm² film are measured at 312.5 K and −88 µT. The color scale represents the probability of pixels to be covered by skyrmions throughout the whole measured time. For example, at red positions, skyrmions were present around 80 % of the whole measurement time whereas the dark blue areas are rarely visited. The skyrmions explore the full space of the sample, only few single pixels are never covered by skyrmions. b Relative energy landscape surface in kBT determined from the probability distribution at 312.5 K in (a).
