Based on theoretical calculations, we predict that 4d- and 5d-doped FeSi and CoSi compounds host skyrmions with a size between 50 nm for (Co,Os)Si and 148 nm for (Fe,Co)Si. Calculations are done using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method and magnetic force theorem which allow to address the Heisenberg and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions, and the skyrmionic properties were determined using micromagnetic simulations. We find that the 5d doping (by Ir or Os) is particularly efficient in terms of enhancing the DM interaction. Convex-hull analysis suggests that the doped compounds are structurally stable, and we have managed to synthesize and characterize Co_1−xRu_xSi systems both in powder and single-crystal forms.
