Despite a decade of research, the precise mechanisms occurring at interfaces underlying the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), and thus the possibility of fine-tuning it, are not yet fully identified. In this study, we investigate the…

We have studied a series of Pt/Co/M epitaxial trilayers, in which Co is sandwiched between Pt and a non magnetic layer M (Pt, Ir, Cu, Al). Using polar magneto-optical Kerr microscopy, we show that the field- induced domain wall speeds are…

Interfacial Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interaction defines a rotational sense for the magnetization of two-dimensional films making it responsible for the formation of chiral magnetic structures like spin-spirals and skyrmions in those films.…
