The study reports the observation of stable magnetic skyrmions at room temperature in ultrathin transition metal ferromagnets using magnetic transmission soft x-ray microscopy. The researchers demonstrated the ability to generate and manipulate skyrmion lattices and individual skyrmions by applying short current pulses along a magnetic racetrack. The findings provide experimental evidence for recent predictions and open the door to room-temperature skyrmion spintronics in robust thin-film heterostructures. The work highlights the potential for engineering skyrmion properties and dynamics using materials that can be integrated into spintronic devices.The study reports the observation of stable magnetic skyrmions at room temperature in ultrathin transition metal ferromagnets using magnetic transmission soft x-ray microscopy.
