In non-centrosymmetric magnets the
chiral Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) exchange stabilizes tubular
baby-Skyrmions, i.e. smooth, topological, and static spin textures.
Chiral Skyrmionic state may exist in many magnetic systems due to the
DM-couplings as leading spin-orbit effect, if allowed by crystal
symmetry or induced by broken inversion symmetry at surfaces.
