Abstract Understanding skyrmion-skyrmion interactions and their dynamical effects is crucial for skyrmion-based applications. In this article, we investigate the deformation of skyrmions induced by the inter-skyrmion interaction in both static and dynamic scenarios for a two-skyrmion system. In the static case under a pinning magnetic field, the inter-skyrmion interaction energy decreases rapidly with increasing separation between the skyrmions, while their individual sizes grow. The semiaxis ratio of the elliptical skyrmion exhibits non-monotonic behavior, owing to the competition between skyrmion-skyrmion interactions and pinning effects. In dynamic simulations after removing the external pinning field, the two skyrmions spiral away from each other with increasing separation. Following a rapid relaxation period after magnetic field withdrawal, their semiaxis ratio typically increases with distance and the skyrmions gradually approach a perfect circular shape. These findings provide valuable insights into the behavior and interactions of two-skyrmion systems.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
