Fig. 2: Elongation of Néel-type twin-skyrmions depending on the IEC JIL and IL-DMI \({D}_{x}^{\rm{IL}}\).

The parameters are JIF = 6 meV, ∣DIF∣ = 1.5 meV, \({D}_{y}^{\rm{IL}}={D}_{z}^{\rm{IL}}=0\), and Bz = 1.4 T. For relaxing the structures, the damping parameter α = 1 was used, and the simulation was run for 5 × 106 time steps, i.e., 10 ns. In the points shown in white, the elongation of the twin-skyrmion was unbounded.
