Magnetic skyrmions form in chiral multilayers from the shrinking or fissionof elongated stripe textures. Here we report an experimental and theoreticalstudy of the temperature dependence of this stripe-to-skyrmion transition inCo/Pt-based multilayers. Field-reversal magnetometry and Lorentz microscopyexperiments over 100 - 350 K establish the increased efficacy ofstripe-to-skyrmion fission at higher temperatures - driven primarily by thethermal evolution of key magnetic interactions - thereby enhancing skyrmiondensity. Atomistic calculations elucidate that the energy barrier to fissiongoverns the thermodynamics of the skyrmion formation. Our results establish amechanistic picture of the stripe-to-skyrmion transition and advance the use ofthermal knobs for efficient skyrmion generation.
