Abstract
We consider a C_{6} invariant lattice of magnetic moments coupled via a Kondo exchange J with a 2D electron gas (2DEG). The effective Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction between the moments stabilizes a magnetic skyrmion crystal in the presence of magnetic field and easy-axis anisotropy. An attractive aspect of this mechanism is that the magnitude of the magnetic ordering wave vectors, Q_{ν} (ν=1, 2, 3), is dictated by the Fermi wave number k_{F}: |Q_{ν}|=2k_{F}. Consequently, the topological contribution to the Hall conductivity of the 2DEG becomes of the order of the quantized value, e^{2}/h, when J is comparable to the Fermi energy ε_{F}.
