Fig. 4

a Fourier amplitude of the \(\Delta\)I/I oscillation near the 004 peak measured at the first (green) and second (blue) orders of the skyrmion satellite peaks as a function of temperature. The in-plane DC bias field can reduce the Fourier amplitude, as indicated by the black arrow (data shown in Fig. S8c). The error bar is smaller than the marker size. The dashed line indicate the transition temperature from The skyrmion bubble to labyrinth phase. b Dispersion relation measured near 004 peak at (top) 300 K, and (below) 380 K. The dashed black curves are the guides for the eye. c Phase-field simulation captures a phase transition from a stable bubble phase at 300 K to a vortex-tube-like labyrinth phase at 360 K. The color-map indicates the amplitude of Pz.
