Isolated zero field sub-10 nm skyrmions in ultrathin Co films

Isolated skyrmions with diameters below 10 nm stabilized at zero magnetic field are of great technological relevance to the future spintronic applications. Here the authors report stabilization of zero field isolated skyrmions with diameters smaller than 5 nm in Rh/Co atomic bilayers on the Ir(111)...
