“One type of such systems such as MnSi, Fe1−xCoxSi, Cu2OSeO33,4,5,6 with the bulk Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), has chiral crystal structure that supports vortex-like skyrmions. Another type of the systems are heavy metal/ultrathin ferromagnetic layers such as Fe/Ir, Ni/Co and Ta/CoFeB/TaOx10,11,28,29, that results in an interfacial DMI”.

In addition, in the Results and Discussion section,

“We would like to point out that sub-nanosecond current pulses can be routinely created in laboratories around the world since they have been used to manipulate the magnetic structures in both nanostrips and spin valves25–30”.
