Description:
Article Chiral magnets can support particle-like magnetization textures called skyrmions which form in lattices and can be manipulated for potential device applications. Here, the authors demonstrate the controlled creation and annihilation of a skyrmion lattice in MnSi single crystals using mechanical stress. Nature Communications doi: 10.1038/ncomms9539 Authors: Y. Nii, T. Nakajima, A. Kikkawa, Y. Yamasaki, K. Ohishi, J. Suzuki, Y. Taguchi, T. Arima, Y. Tokura, Y. Iwasa
