In addition to the helical magnetic state at zero field, a chiral soliton lattice can be stabilized when a magnetic field perpendicular to the chiral axis is applied. When the magnetic field is increased, the system undergoes a phase transition to the uniform state at a critical field Bc. Above Bc, a single chiral soliton comprises the lowest level excitation over the stable uniform state, surviving as a metastable configuration. How to retain a single chiral soliton metastable state has not been addressed yet. Using micromagnetic simulations, we analyze this possibility by injecting spin polarized currents and put forward a feasible protocol to obtain a state with a single chiral soliton from the chiral soliton lattice. Our proposal could be relevant in the experimental study of metastable solitons for technological applications.2021http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/15161810.1063/5.0067682http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/151618oai:zaguan.unizar.es:151618info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/M4info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PGC2018-099024-B-I00Applied Physics Letters 119, 22 (2021), [7 pp.]byhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
