Title: Generation of magnetic skyrmion bubbles by inhomogeneous spin Hall currents

Recent experiments have shown that magnetic skyrmion bubbles can be generated and injected at room temperature in thin films. In this study, we demonstrate, using micromagnetic modeling, that such skyrmions can be generated by an inhomogeneous spin Hall torque in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMIs). In the experimental Ta-Co 20Fe 60B 20 thin films, the DMI is rather small; nevertheless, the skyrmion bubbles are stable, or at least metastable on observational time scales.
