Probing the spinor nature of electronic states in nanosize non-collinear magnets

Non-collinear magnetization textures which are established by chiral exchange interactions have recently provided a route to novel phenomena and device concepts. Here, the authors demonstrate the effects of symmetry breaking on non-collinear magnetization by lateral confinement.
