Chirality flips of skyrmion bubbles

Abstract

AbstractThe investigation of three-dimensional magnetic textures and chirality switching has attracted enormous interest from the perspective of fundamental research. Here, the three-dimensional magnetic structures of skyrmion bubbles in the centrosymmetric magnet MnNiGa were reconstructed with the vector field tomography approach via Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. The magnetic configuration of the bubbles was determined based on the reconstructed magnetic induction (B-field) at their surfaces and centers. We found that the bubbles easily switched their chirality but preserved their polarity to retain their singularity in the matrix of the material. Our results offer valuable insights into the chirality behavior of skyrmion bubbles.
