الوصف: A magnetic skyrmion is a topological object that can exist as a solitary embedded in the vast ferromagnetic phase, or coexists with a group of its "siblings" in various stripy phases as well as skyrmion crystals (SkXs). Isolated skyrmions and skyrmions in an SkX are circular while a skyrmion in other phases is a stripe of various forms. Unexpectedly, the sizes of the three different types of skyrmions depend on material parameters differently. For chiral magnetic films with exchange stiffness constant $A$, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) strength $D$, and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy $K$, $\kappa\equiv\pi^2D^2/(16AK)=1$ separates isolated skyrmions from condensed skyrmion states. In contrast to isolated skyrmions whose size increases with $D/K$ and is insensitive to $\kappa\ll1$ and stripe skyrmions whose width increases with $A/D$ and is insensitive to $\kappa\gg1$, the size of skyrmions in SkXs is inversely proportional to the square root of skyrmion number density and decreases with $A/D$. This finding has important implications in our search for stable smaller skyrmions at the room temperature in applications.
