Real Space Demonstration of Electric Current-Induced Isolated Skyrmion Deformation

Since the discovery of topological spin textures called magnetic skyrmions [1,2], they have been heralded as candidates for information carriers in future computing applications [3]. To realize this goal, much progress has been made using an electrical current to drive skyrmion motion. Many skyrmion motion applications rely on the assumption that the skyrmions are rigid under electrical current application [4,5]. Here we show experimentally by real space observations of skyrmions under an applied current that skyrmions deform with surprising severity, even by small currents.
