Histograms of occurring skyrmion center positions for external out-of-plane fields of (a) 0.15 T and (b) 0.05 T based on micromagnetic simulations. The greyscale represents the number of skyrmion center occurrences at a position. Red boxes indicate the area where the magnetic anisotropy is reduced. The top histograms show the skyrmion size distribution. c Size comparison of the average sizes from (a) and (b). The scaling is identical for (a–c).
