Magnetic skyrmions are topological spin structures that arise in chiral magnetic systems which exhibit broken inversion symmetry and high spin-orbit coupling resulting in a sizable Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Understanding the local spin texture of skyrmions is a vital metrological step in the development of skyrmionic technologies required for novel logic or storage devices in addition to providing fundamental insight into the nanoscale chiral interactions inherent to these systems.
