We show that the presence of a localized curvilinear defect drastically changes magnetic properties of a thin perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnetic film. For a large enough defect amplitude a discrete set of equilibrium magnetization…

We present a micromagnetic theory of compact magnetic skyrmions under applied magnetic field that accounts for the full dipolar energy and the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moryia interaction (DMI) in the thin film regime. Asymptotic analysis…
