Abstract:Different magnetic interactions and anisotropy in the multi-layer structure have different effects on the formation and morphology of skyrmions under zero field. In this paper, we show that the Ruderman–Kittel–Kasuya–Yosida (RKKY) coupling plays a dominant role in the generation of skyrmions but has no significant effect on the size of skyrmions. When the RKKY coupling is weak, if the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) is strong enough, some irregular cruciform domain states can be formed. With the increa… Show more
