Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stabilized quasi-two-dimensional whirls of magnetization. Diffusion of skyrmions in continuous films [1] can be exploited for novel computing approaches, which often require understanding the behavior of skyrmions in confined geometries. We were studying this behavior in different confined geometries like circles, triangles and squares using experiments and coarse-grained computer simulations. Our results indicate that mobility is not only governed by skyrmion density but also by the interplay between skyrmion numbers and geometry. For triangular or square geometries, we found that this behavior is drastically dependent on the commensurability of the skyrmion number with the shape of the confinement [2].
