abstract = {Antiferromagnetic (AFM) skyrmions are envisioned as ideal
localized topologicalmagnetic bits in future information
technologies. In contrast to ferromagnetic (FM)skyrmions,
they are immune to the skyrmion Hall effect [1, 2], might
offer potential terahertzdynamics [3] while being
insensitive to external magnetic fields and dipolar
interactions.Although observed in synthetic AFM structures
[4] and as complex meronic textures inintrinsic AFM bulk
materials [5, 6], their realization in non-synthetic AFM
films, of crucialimportance in racetrack concepts, has been
elusive. In this work [7], we unveil their presencein a
row-wise AFM Cr film deposited on PdFe bilayer grown on fcc
Ir(111) surface. Usingfirst-principles, we demonstrate the
emergence of single and strikingly interpenetratingcatenated
AFM skyrmions, which can coexist with the rich inhomogeneous
exchange field,including that of FM skyrmions, hosted by
PdFe. Besides the identification of an idealplatform of
materials for intrinsic AFM skyrmions, we anticipate the
uncovered knottedsolitons to be promising building blocks in
AFM spintronics.[1] Barker and Tretiakov, Physical Review
