abstract = {Skyrmions are particle-like spin textures that arise from
spin spiral states in the presence of an external magnetic
field. These spirals can originate from either frustrated
Heisenberg exchange interactions or the interplay between
exchange interactions and the relativistic
Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, leading to atomic- and
mesoscale textures, respectively. However, the conversion of
exchange-stabilized spin spirals into skyrmions typically
requires magnetic fields that exceed practical laboratory
limits. Here, we demonstrate a strategy leveraging hydrogen
adsorption to expand the range of magnetic films capable of
hosting stable or metastable skyrmions. In a structurally
open and anisotropic system of two pseudomorphic Fe layers
on Ir(110), spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy
combined with ab initio calculations reveals that a
right-handed, exchange- stabilized N´eel-type spin spiral
propagating along the [110] direction with a 1.3 nm period
transitions upon hydrogen adsorption to a
Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya type spiral with a sevenfold longer
period of 8.5 nm. This transition enables elliptical
skyrmions to form at moderate magnetic fields.Hydrogenation
thus provides a non-volatile mechanism to toggle between
distinct magnetic states, offering a versatile platform for
controlling spin textures.},
