abstract = {The ability to controllably manipulate magnetic skyrmions,
small magnetic whirls with particle-like properties, in
nanostructured elements is a prerequisite for incorporating
them into spintronic devices. Here, we use state-of-the-art
electron holographic imaging to directly visualize the
morphology and nucleation of magnetic skyrmions in a
wedge-shaped FeGe nanostripe that has a width in the range
of 45–150 nm. We find that geometrically-confined
skyrmions are able to adopt a wide range of sizes and
ellipticities in a nanostripe that are absent in both thin
films and bulk materials and can be created from a helical
magnetic state with a distorted edge twist in a simple and
efficient manner. We perform a theoretical analysis based on
a three-dimensional general model of isotropic chiral
magnets to confirm our experimental results. The flexibility
and ease of formation of geometrically confined magnetic
skyrmions may help to optimize the design of skyrmion-based
memory devices.},
