Skyrmion Phase in MnSi Thin Films Grown on Sapphire by a Conventional Sputtering

摘要

XRD patterns of MnSi films on Si [(001), black solid line] and Al2O3 (blue and red solid lines) substrates. All the peaks are indexed to the cubic B20-type MnSi phase, marked with green dotted lines. The asterisks on black and blue solid lines indicate peaks from the Mn5Si3 phase
