Popis: Magnetic vortices such as skyrmions are promising for spintronic applications, however, little is known about the pinning effects strongly influencing their dynamics. Here, the authors map the interaction potential between defects and vortex cores down to the sub-nanometer scale enabling the better control of these magnetic textures.
