Deliverable 1.1 is a report on imaging of individual skyrmions of MML systemsmade by different techniques. This deliverable falls within work package 1(WP1:Static equilibrium properties of interface induced skyrmions in magneticfilms and multilayers) of the MAGicSky research proposal whose objectives are:the growth of magnetic multilayer systems with large interfacial chiralinteraction, the determination of the amplitude of the Dzyaloshinskii--Moriyainteractions (DMi), the detailed structural and magnetic characterization ofinterfaces, the magnetic imaging of individual skyrmions and the thermalstability and interaction of skyrmions with intrinsic and/or artificialdefects. It should be emphasized that imaging magnetic skyrmionic structuresforms the basis for all the planned subsequent material optimization,electrical transport experiments and devices preparation in the MAGicSkyresearch program. In particular, imaging is paramount as a technique since itenables us to unequivocally demonstrate chiral magnetic skyrmions by directlyimaging i) the effects of engineering multilayer samples with large DMis andii) the skyrmionic structure and properties. In order to get complementaryphysical insight on the properties of magnetic skyrmions and to corroborate ourresearch results, we utilise a plethora of key state-of-the-art advancedmagnetic imaging techniques, namely: i) Spin-polarised Scanning TunnellingMicroscopy (SP-STM), Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) LorentzTransmission Electron Microscopy (Lorentz TEM) as well as, Magnetic ForceMicroscopy (MFM). These imaging experiments can therefore stand as the base forall the other objectives in WP1 as well as WP2 that will study Dynamicproperties: nucleation, propagation and detection of skyrmions. Imaging hasbeen aimed to test and get feedback from the theoretical and numericalinvestigations of skyrmion systems of WP3. Finally, for WP4: Towards skyrmionbased devices for information storage and processing, some of the techniquesdetailed here in D1.1 will enable us to image and test the first devices andtheir functionality. In short, the MAGicSky consortium research results in D1.1constitute a major milestone that acts as a stepping-stone to every otherexperimental effort and we have achieved it. The results relevant to the D1.1deliverable were presented in 5 publications and several invited talks atinternational workshop and conferences:
