Non-collinear spin states in bottom-up fabricated atomic chains
Scanning tunnelling microscopes can be used to accurately position atoms and measure emergent behaviour arising from interatomic couplings. Here, the authors fabricate a model spin chain and show the formation of a tunable spiral state due to competing Heisenberg and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactio...
