(color online) (a) Hard magnetic layer and (b) soft magnetic layer magnetic moments’ distribution of the bilayers in skyrmion state, (c) magnetic moments’ distribution of CoCrPt layer in vortex state, (d) red and blue lines represent magnetization line profiles as marked with dash line in panels (b) and (c). The red and blue color denote spins downward-of-plane and out-of-plane direction respectively, and arrows denote the in-plane direction.
