Outline of Final Research Achievements

In chiral magnets, skyrmions are formed from helical magnetic structures. Skyrmions have attracted much attention in both applications and fundamental sciences. We have used Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) to reveal a change of their magnetic structures.
The quality of skyrmion ordering, the so-called skyrmion crystal or skyrmion lattice, affects the physical properties of magnetic skyrmions. Using LTEM, we observed skyrmion polycrystallization in FeGe1-xSix as a function of x. With increasing x, the skyrmion crystal changes from single crystalline to polycrystallines.
Theories indicate that the skyrmion lattice is represented by a superposition of three spin helices at an angle of 120 degrees to each other. Using LTEM, we investigated the relationship between the skyrmion lattice and the helix in FeGe thin films. After the magnetic field is removed, the ordered skyrmions are trapped inside helimagnetic domain walls where the different helical vectors are encountered.
