Magnetic skyrmionic bubbles have been reported for Fe5GeTe2 and other layered van der Waals materials and are good candidates for applications in spintronics. Here, the authors report a near room temperature skyrmionic structure for Fe5GeTe2 and study the magnetic ordering for pre and post-cooling states using a combination of magnetic measurements and DFT calculations.
