We use an atomistic extended Heisenberg model derived from density functional theory calculations [1] for the ultra-thin film system Pd/Fe/Ir(111) to show that temperature induces non-zero skyrmion and antiskyrmion densities. The parallel tempering Monte Carlo method is applied in order to reliably compute the B-T phase diagram in the presence of frustrated interactions and we introduce the topological susceptibility to evaluate the critical temperatures. The frustration of the exchange interaction turns out to have a crucial influence on the critical temperatures [2]. Here, we focus on the effect of the frustration of exchange interaction on the creation of skyrmions and antiskyrmions densities as a function of temperature and magnetic field.
