A magnetic skyrmion is a type of topological magnetic structure that can occur in certain magnetic materials. These structures are characterized by a stable swirling configuration of magnetic moments (spins) that form a localized, particle-like object. Skyrmions can exist in two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) systems and are typically nanoscale in size, making them of great interest for potential applications in spintronics and information storage.
