Abstract Topological magnetism with strong robustness, nanoscale dimensions and ultralow driving current density ($\sim 10^{6}$ A/m$^{2}$) is promising for applications in information sensing, storage, and processing, and thus sparking widespread research interest. Exploring candidate material systems with nanoscale size and easily tunable properties is a key for realizing practical topological magnetism-based spintronic devices. Here, we propose a class of ultrathin heterostructures, Fe/Bi$_{2}$O$_{2}X$ ($X ={\rm S}$, Se, Te) by deposing metal Fe on quasi-two-dimensional (2D) bismuth oxychalcogenides Bi$_{2}$O$_{2}X$ ($X ={\rm S}$, Se, Te) with excellent ferroelectric/ferroelastic properties. Large Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and topological magnetism can be realized. Our atomistic spin dynamics simulations demonstrate that field-free vortex-antivortex loops and sub-10 nm skyrmions exist in Fe/Bi$_{2}$O$_{2}$S and Fe/Bi$_{2}$O$_{2}$Se interfaces, respectively. These results provide a possible strategy to tailor topological magnetism in ultrathin magnets/2D materials interfaces, which is extremely vital for spintronics applications.

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.
