Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and chiral magnetism in 3$d$-5$d$ zig-zag chains: Tight-binding model and ab initio calculations

Vikas Kashid, Timo Schena, Bernd Zimmermann +4

We investigate the chiral magnetic order in free-standing planar 3$d$-5$d$ bi-atomic metallic chains (3$d$: Fe, Co; 5$d$: Ir, Pt, Au) using first-principles calculations based on d…
