“…The reduced size of skyrmions and the possibility of controlling their motion by applying an electrical current of small density, makes them promising candidates for several types of non-volatile magnetic memory devices [230,236,254,256,[337][338][339][340][341][342][343]. In such applications, the information could be coded by skyrmions in a magnetic nanoribbon (similar to the one employed in racetrack memories), and the spacing between bits could be of the order of magnitude of a few nanometers (close to the diameter of the skyrmion) [254,256,342].…”

“…Until now, there are some successful reports showing the stabilization of magnetic skyrmions in NMMs [237,337,341], but only isolated skyrmions have been observed in such systems. Examples of promising multilayer systems include: Ir/Co/Pt [255,344,345], Pd/Co [237], Pt/Co/Ta [346], Ir/Fe/Co/Pt [341] and Cr/Fe/Cr/Ga [340]. Similar to the properties of GMR multilayers and PMA, the thickness of the individual layers and the symmetry at the interfaces play a crucial role for the detection of magnetic skyrmions [236].…”

Nanoscale metallic multilayers have been shown to have a wide range of outstanding properties, which differ to a great extent from those observed in monolithic films. Their exceptional properties are mainly associated with the large number of interfaces and the nanoscale layer thicknesses. Many studies have investigated these materials focusing on magnetic, mechanical, optical, or radiation tolerance properties. Thus, this review provides a summary of the findings in each area, including a description of the general attributes, the adopted synthesis methods and most common characterization techniques used. This information is followed by a compendium of the material properties and a brief discussion of related experimental data, as well as existing and promising applications. Other phenomena of interest, including thermal stability studies, self-propagating reactions and the progression from nano multilayers to amorphous and/or crystalline alloys, are also covered. In general, this review highlights the use of nano multilayer architectures as viable routes to overcome the challenges of designing and implementing new engineering materials at the nanoscale.
