Typically, combining a wide range of experimental tools developed in our laboratory or in a close collaboration with industry; we utilize the spin, charge and orbital degrees of freedom and tune these using e.g., electric and magnetic field, temperature, dimensionality and chemical composition. In one of our recent studies, we employed carefully controlled interfaces between materials to tailor novel physical phenomena and functionalities not exhibited by either of the constituent materials alone. In another study, we have been investigating designer systems in multiple and switchable dimensions, and symmetry phases for emergent phenomena, including topologically stable field configurations such as skyrmions, originally discussed in particle physics and astrophysics but now most remarkably in condensed matter physics... The reported amplitude of the topological Hall effect for Néel skyrmions in thin film magnetic multilayers has varied widely between different research groups, with no..
