Isolated skyrmions with vanishing anisotropy in Co/Ru(0001) — •Marie Böttcher1,2, Marie Hervé3, Jairo Sinova1,4, Wulf Wulfhekel3, and Bertrand Dupé11Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Mainz, Germany — 2Graduate School Materials Science in Mainz, Mainz, Germany — 3Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Karlsruhe, Germany — 4Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Praha, Czech Republic

Magnetic skyrmions are localized and topologically stabilized non-collinear spin structures. They offer attractive perspectives for future spintronics applications, because they can be manipulated at lower current densities than domain walls [1]. The stabilization of skyrmions is usually attributed to a large Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Here, we show that a strong DMI is not a necessary condition to obtain skyrmions in ultra-thin films. Co/Ru(0001) possesses a spin spiral ground state, although the DMI is weak. We attribute the stability of this spin texture to the simultaneous vanishing of anisotropy [2]. We determine the B-T phase diagram for this system using Monte Carlo simulations and show the magnetic field dependence of isolated skyrmions at magnetic fields with a ferromagnetic ground state.
