Abstract
Growth, electronic properties, and magnetic properties of an Fe monolayer (ML) on an Ir/YSZ/Si(111) multilayer system have been studied using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy. Our experiments reveal a magnetic nano-skyrmion lattice, which is fully equivalent to the magnetic ground state that has previously been observed for the Fe ML on Ir(111) bulk single crystals. In addition, the experiments indicate that the interface-stabilized skyrmion lattice is robust against local atomic lattice distortions induced by multilayer preparation.
