Magnetic skyrmions are usually stabilized and studied in materials with isotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). In materials with D2d or S4 symmetry, however, the sign of the DMI is exactly opposite in two orthogonal directions such that it favors antiskyrmions instead of skyrmions. [1,2] Yet, uniaxial anisotropy and dipolar interactions can also help stabilizing skyrmions in such materials which, as a consequence of the anisotropic DMI, are rendered elliptical. We quantify the elliptical distortion of skyrmions in an S4 symmetric material as function of magnetic field and temperature using LTEM holography. Our micromagnetic simulations and simple analytical modelling explain the experimentally observed behavior and provide a technique to quantitatively estimate the DMI.
