We show that in the antiferromagnetic ferroelectric BaNiF4 the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction leads to a small canting of the magnetic moments, away from the easy axis, resulting in a noncollinear magnetic structure. The canting…
The influence of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on the spin-wave dispersion in an Fe double layer grown on W(110) is measured for the first time. It is demonstrated that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction breaks the degeneracy of…
