Disorder‐Broadened Topological Hall Phase and Anomalous Hall Scaling in FeGe
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.By systematically introducing defects into FeGe via ion‐beam modification, we demonstrate that disorder broadens the temperature regime over which the topological Hall effect ‐ a signature of skyrmions or other chiral textures — appears, while also increasing its magnitude.
