Both small-angle neutron scattering measurements (SANS) and theoretical calculations indicate that there might exist additional skyrmion phases in Cu2OSeO3 in addition to its high-temperature phase, found at very low temperatures (LT) and only for magnetic fields applied along the <100> direction. These phases are usually hidden beneath a metastable tilted conical phase, but can be revealed by modulating the applied magnetic field.
Here we present a Magnetic-Force-Microscopy (MFM) analysis monitoring this LT skyrmion phase in real space. We find the LT skyrmion lattice to nucleate in micrometer-sized domains that coexist with tilted conical domains during the annealing process. Moreover, individual skyrmion domains are rotated relative to each other, resulting exactly in the ring-shaped halo as measured by SANS or REXS on a multidomain Cu2OSeO3 crystal.
