![Supplementary Figure 1 a – d from “Macroscopic manifestation of domain-wall magnetism and magnetoelectric effect in a Néel-type skyrmion host” by K. Geirhos et al: Typical ferroelectric do-main pattern observed on the (001) cleaved GaV4Se8 crystal surface atT=10 K. a, The topography is characterized by stripes roughly parallel to the [110] axis and folds parallel to the [010] axis. The latter originate in the differently oriented distortion of the ferroelastic domains. The color scale corresponds to the z-displacement of the tip. b ,In the dissipation channel of the nc-AFM every second domain appears bright. For the non-magnetic tip the dissipation originates from electric interactions. The dissipated power is indicated by the color scale.
