Toward energy-efficient information technology with magnetic skyrmions

Caption

Researchers from Kyushu University added an atomic-scale gadolinium layer (0.3 nm) to a Pt/Co/Ni structure. The rare earth interlayer altered the balance of skyrmion types while preserving stability, demonstrating that careful interface design can tailor material properties for skyrmion-based devices.
