| contents | In this work, we develop a theory of (meta)stable states of Néel-type skyrmions in weak nonuniform magnetic fields. We claim an Ansatz for modeling the non-symmetric magnetization that can be implied for both analytics and numerical simulations. Our theory accounts for changes in the size of skyrmion parameters and also includes deformations from the centrally symmetric shape. The ansatz streamlines the analytic calculation of the skyrmion free energy, enhancing the efficiency of the minimizing process. Performing the minimization in two stages, one can find all the minima, global and local, of the free energy, discovering the stable and metastable states. We apply the developed methodology to investigate the (meta)stable configurations of skyrmions influenced by the stray field of a Pearl vortex. Our study reveals the dependence of skyrmion spatial parameters on the vortex field effective strength and presents a phase diagram identifying regions where metastable configurations are predicted. Corroborated by micromagnetic simulations, our findings offer a detailed perspective on the interaction between magnetic skyrmions and superconducting vortices. |
