Description
About the dataset
This dataset supports a study where fractional skyrmion tubes were observed in double-helical nanowires fabricated by 3D nano-printing using focused electron beam-induced deposition.
The dataset includes code, images and processed data for reproducing the figures from the associated paper, and is intended to support researchers interested in reproducing the data of the scientific article, including simulations and experiments. For more information about the code and data, please refer to the readme.txt file.
