Abstract

The interface at ferromagnetic (FM) and heavy metal (HM) can display various distinct characters such as finite size effects, lattice mismatch, and broken inversion symmetries [1-5]. All these interfacial effects can provide platform for multiple emergent noncollinear spin states such as a spin helix, cycloids, and skyrmions [1-5]. Among them, nano-sized magnetic skyrmions with whirlpool like spin textures are attractive to both fundamental, as well as application-oriented research.
