Description:
Article Broken symmetry at the interface with a heavy metal gives rise to a chiral exchange interaction in ferromagnetic thin films, which may be used to control magnetic domain walls. Here, the authors demonstrate how this effect enforces topologically stable homochiral domain walls in a Pt/Co/AlO x trilayer. Nature Communications doi: 10.1038/ncomms9957 Authors: M. J. Benitez, A. Hrabec, A. P. Mihai, T. A. Moore, G. Burnell, D. McGrouther, C. H. Marrows, S. McVitie
