Recently, magnetic skyrmion has emerged as an active topic of fundamental study and applications in magnetic materials research. Magnetic skyrmions are vortex-like spin excitations with topological protection and therefore are more robust to pinning compared with magnetic domain walls. We employ atomistic simulations to create room-temperature ultra-small Neel skyrmions in amorphous ferrimagnet. The fast propagation and low-dissipation dynamics of ultra-small ferrimagnetic skyrmions make them attractive for utilization as an alternative to domain walls in spin-based memory and logic devices.
