Abstract

The interplay of magnetic interactions in chiral multilayer films gives rise to nanoscale topological spin textures, which form attractive elements for next-generation computing. Quantifying these interactions requires several specialized, time-consuming, and resource-intensive experimental techniques. Imaging of ambient domain configurations presents a promising avenue for high-throughput extraction of the parent magnetic interactions. Here we present a machine learning-based approach to determine the key interactions -- symmetric exchange, chiral exchange, and anisotropy -- governing chiral domain phenomenology in multilayers. Our convolutional neural network model, trained and validated on over 10,000 domain images, achieved R2>0.85R^2 > 0.85 in predicting the parameters and independently learned physical interdependencies between them. When applied to microscopy data acquired across samples, our model-predicted parameter trends are consistent with independent experimental measurements. These results establish ML-driven techniques as valuable, high-throughput complements to conventional determination of magnetic interactions, and serve to accelerate materials and device development for nanoscale electronics.
