Topological magnetic textures such as skyrmions and antiskyrmions are typically observed in materials belonging to different symmetry groups where the bulk Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is either isotropic or anisotropic and leads to the stabilization of either skyrmions or antiskyrmions respectively. Recently, both these topological objects were found in the same inverse Heusler crystal, whose D2d symmetry is expected to stabilize only antiskyrmions. In this poster, we report on the observation of two distinct peaks in the topological Hall effect (THE) exhibited by thin films of Mn2RhSn. These features are later shown, phenomenologically and through transport simulations, to be direct signatures of two topologically distinct chiral spin textures, namely skyrmions and antiskyrmions. Utilizing THE studies, we infer that skyrmions are predominantly stabilized at lower temperatures where dipolar interactions dominate, while antiskyrmions are present at higher temperatures over a wide range of magnetic fields.
