(color online) (a)–(j) Magnetic moments’ distribution of CoCrPt layer in relaxation state without magnetic field. Panels (a) and (f) are the same as panel (c) of Fig. 2, and panel (b) of Fig. 3, respectively, panel (h) is the same as panel (b) of Fig. 2. Panels (a), (c), (f), and (j) show vortex structure and panels (b), (d), and (h) exhibit skyrmion structure. Panels (g) and (i) show the unstable magnetic configuration with the magnetic field of −200 mT and 220 mT, respectively. Panel (e) shows critical magnetic field of core/edge (green / red line) as a function of soft magnetic layer diameter.
