The research aims to explore the stabilization of Néel-type skyrmions through engineered interfacial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction in Fe3GeTe2/MoS2 heterostructures.
Utilized van der Waals heterostructures of Fe3GeTe2 and MoS2
Conducted Lorentz transmission electron microscopy to observe skyrmion behavior
Performed micromagnetic simulations to model skyrmion dynamics
Executed first-principles calculations to assess the origin of DMI
Néel-type skyrmions were stabilized without an external magnetic field
Peak skyrmion density of approximately 0.57 skyrmions/μm2 was observed at a thickness of ~30 nm
Skyrmion density declines for Fe3GeTe2 layers thicker than ~60 nm
Interfacial DMI was confirmed to correlate with the observed skyrmion behavior
First-principles calculations indicated charge redistribution and spin-orbit coupling as key factors
