Magnetic skyrmions are topological defects in magnetization textures, stabilized by their topological properties. They are induced by chiral interactions in non-centrosymmetric magnetic compounds or thin films with broken inversion symmetry. These defects can be as small as a few nanometers and behave like particles, making them suitable for various technological applications. Recent research has focused on stabilizing skyrmions at room temperature and manipulating them using current, which is a significant advancement for practical devices. The article discusses the recent progress in stabilizing skyrmions in multilayer structures and their current-induced manipulation. Key aspects include the role of interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) and the dynamics of skyrmions. The authors highlight the potential of skyrmions in devices such as racetrack memory, logic gates, magnonic crystals, and radiofrequency devices. They also address challenges such as controlling skyrmion size, improving device homogeneity, and understanding the role of defects. The article concludes by outlining the promising future of skyrmions in spintronic applications, emphasizing the need for further research to achieve practical, high-performance devices.Magnetic skyrmions are topological defects in magnetization textures, stabilized by their topological properties.
