Summary

We analyze magnetization reversal in Fe3GeTe2 with variable thickness, revealing how domain morphology evolves from skyrmions to stripe domains under reverse fields.

My contribution

I performed energy density analysis across multiple thicknesses to quantify confinement effects on topological stability and established a theoretical thickness threshold for stable skyrmion formation.
