Topological magnetic solitons on curvilinear magnetic films acquire new properties if the curvature radius is comparable with the size of the soliton. Earlier we demonstrated [1] that ferromagnetic skyrmions can be stabilized due to the curvature effects only without intrinsic chiral magnetic interactions. However, the curvature induced skyrmion is an excitation of the ground state, as well as a skyrmion in a planar film. Here we show that the combined action of the curvature and the chiral interaction can make skyrmion the ground state of the system [2]. Moreover, ferromagnetic skyrmion pinned on a curvilinear defect demonstrates a discrete set of equilibrium states. Transitions between different states can be controlled by external magnetic field. Thus, the periodically arranged curvilinear defects can result in a reconfigurable skyrmion lattice. This opens new perspectives on processing and storing of the information.
