Statistical Signatures of Topology and Chirality in the Annihilation Field Distributions of Magnetic Thin Films (Adv. Funct. Mater. 19/2026)

Key Points

• The study aims to explore how skyrmion topology influences the annihilation behavior of magnetic thin films as chirality varies.
• Analyzed annihilation field distributions of magnetic thin films
• Investigated transition from stochastic to deterministic collapse of skyrmions
• Used statistical signatures to correlate topology and chirality
• Transitioned annihilation behavior from stochastic to deterministic with adjusted chirality
• Identified isolated Néel-type skyrmions through radial spin textures
• Demonstrated a clear relationship between skyrmion topology and annihilation dynamics
