Fluctuation-induced Néel and Bloch skyrmions at topological insulator surfaces

Ferromagnets in contact with a topological insulator have become appealing candidates for spintronics due to the presence of Dirac surface states with spin-momentum locking. Because of this, bilayer Bi₂Se₃-EuS structures, for instance, show a finite magnetization at the interface at temperatures wel...
