Magneto-optical microscope image of a skyrmion, which is the dark spot marked by a blue circle, in a ring of magnetic material. The spatially resolved pinning potential, which determines the special occurrence probability of the skyrmion, is shown. This is inhomogeneous due to material defects. The results from simulation and experiment as well as a high-resolution interpolation of the experimental results are shown around the microscopy image. (ill./©: Maarten A. Brems & Tobias Sparmann)
