Out-of-plane chiral domain wall spin-structures in ultrathin in-plane magnets

Out-of-plane chiral domain wall spin-structures in ultrathin in-plane magnets

Chiral domain walls in magnetic films can be electrically controlled, which makes them attractive for applications, but domain walls in ultrathin films are normally non-chiral. Here, the authors observe chiral domain walls in ultrathin Fe/Ni bilayers that are stabilized by the magnetic anisotropy.
