Role of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction for magnetism in transition-metal chains at Pt step-edges

Benedikt Schweflinghaus, Bernd Zimmermann, Marcus Heide +2

We explore the emergence of chiral magnetism in one-dimensional monatomic Mn, Fe, and Co chains deposited at the Pt(664) step-edge carrying out an ab-initio study based on density…
