abstract = {Magnetic skyrmions are topological solitons with a
nanoscale winding spin texture that hold promise for
spintronics applications1,2,3,4. Skyrmions have so far been
observed in a variety of magnets that exhibit nearly
parallel alignment for neighbouring spins, but theoretically
skyrmions with anti-parallel neighbouring spins are also
possible. Such antiferromagnetic skyrmions may allow more
flexible control than conventional ferromagnetic
skyrmions5,6,7,8,9,10. Here, by combining neutron scattering
measurements and Monte Carlo simulations, we show that a
fractional antiferromagnetic skyrmion lattice is stabilized
in MnSc2S4 through anisotropic couplings. The observed
lattice is composed of three antiferromagnetically coupled
sublattices, and each sublattice is a triangular skyrmion
lattice that is fractionalized into two parts with an
incipient meron (half-skyrmion) character11,12. Our work
demonstrates that the theoretically proposed
antiferromagnetic skyrmions can be stabilized in real
materials and represents an important step towards their
implementation in spintronic devices.},
