Interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and orbital magnetic moments of metallic multilayer films

Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction accounting for the orientation of magnetic domains in ultrathin films: Fe/W(110)

Combining relativistic first-principles calculations with a micromagnetic model, we establish the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction as an important mechanism in thin-film magnetism, determining the orientation of magnetic domains relative to the lattice, the type of domain wall, and the rotational direction of the magnetization in the wall. Applying the analysis to two monolayers Fe on W 110 , ...

Calculation of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction in ultrathin magnetic Films: Cr/W(110)

Oxygen-enabled control of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction in ultra-thin magnetic films.

The search for chiral magnetic textures in systems lacking spatial inversion symmetry has attracted a massive amount of interest in the recent years with the real space observation of novel exotic magnetic phases such as skyrmions lattices, but also domain walls and spin spirals with a defined chirality. The electrical control of these textures offers thrilling perspectives in terms of fast and...

Wide-Range Probing of Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya Interaction

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in magnetic objects is of enormous interest, because it generates built-in chirality of magnetic domain walls (DWs) and topologically protected skyrmions, leading to efficient motion driven by spin-orbit torques. Because of its importance for both potential applications and fundamental research, many experimental efforts have been devoted to DMI inves...

Simultaneous control of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and magnetic anisotropy in nanomagnetic trilayers.

Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy measurements of magnetic bubble domains demonstrate that Ar^{+} irradiation around 100 eV can tune the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in Pt/Co/Pt trilayers. Varying the irradiation energy and dose changes the DMI sign and magnitude separately from the magnetic anisotropy, allowing tuning of the DMI while holding the coercive field constant....
