Chiral asymmetry of the spin-wave spectra in ultrathin magnetic films

L Udvardi, L Szunyogh - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
We raise the possibility that the chiral degeneracy of the magnons in ultrathin films can be
lifted due to the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. By using simple symmetry …

Combining relativistic first-principles calculations with a micromagnetic model, we establish
the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction as an important mechanism in thin-film magnetism …

Describing Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya spirals from first principles

M Heide, G Bihlmayer, S Blügel - Physica B: Condensed Matter, 2009 - Elsevier
In magnetic systems lacking spatial inversion symmetry it is observed that the Dzyaloshinskii–
Moriya interaction can entail long-ranged spin spirals with a unique sense of rotation. Here …
