(a) Magnetic phase diagram under Hdc|| determined by magnetic a.c. susceptibility measurement. The vertical line represents a change in scale. Inset illustrates the spin texture of a skyrmion. Each arrow represents the net magnetic moment. (bd) Schematic illustration of skyrmion resonant motions: (b) CCW and (c) CW modes, where the core of skyrmion rotates in such a sense, and (d) a breathing mode, where the skyrmion oscillatingly shrinks and enlarges.
