Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin textures which
usually appear in materials with broken inversion symmetry and
strong spin-orbit coupling due to emergent Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya
interaction (DMI). While in bulk materials skyrmions exist mostly
at low temperatures, in magnetic multilayers (MM) they can be
stabilized at room temperature [1], which, in combination with their
small size, stability and fast and energy efficient movement, make
them promising for spintronics applications e.g. in unconventional
computing and high-density magnetic storage. Here we present first
results on low-frequency resistance noise spectroscopy measurements
on Pt-Co-Ta-based MM systems which host Néel-type skyrmions at
room temperature. The intention is to utilize low-frequency noise as
an effective probe for the electrical characterization of fundamental
skyrmion properties such as the skyrmion lattice constant or their
mean velocity and to investigate their current-induced dynamics [2-4].
