In this system, Gd atoms\u0000are arranged on a square lattice forming 2D layers separated by the Ru-Si\u0000network in the out-of-plane direction. In the low T regime, the ground state\u0000for zero/smaller external magnetic field ($vec{B}_perp$) along the\u0000out-of-plane direction is a single helical state, characterized by one\u0000modulation vector $vec{Q}$ along one of the in-plane directions of the square\u0000lattice. For some critical range of higher $vec{B}_perp$, the helical state\u0000transforms into a SkL state that can be viewed as the overlap of two helical\u0000states defined with $vec{Q}$ vectors in two in-plane directions, with the same\u0000magnitude of $vec{Q}$ as for the single helical state. So far in the\u0000literature, importance has been given to this in-plane $vec{Q}$ vector in\u0000understanding the magnetic phases of the system, considering the out-of-plane\u0000magnetic coupling to be weak, which therefore has been ignored.

Atomistic Spin Dynamics (ASD) simulations show the\u0000importance of this interaction. This interlayer modulation vector\u0000$vec{Q}_{[111]}$, along with the intralayer $vec{Q}_{[100]}$, determines the\u0000total magnetic ordering of the system.
