Symmetry breaking in spin spirals and skyrmions by in-plane and canted magnetic fields

The influence of in-plane and canted magnetic fields on spin spirals and skyrmions in atomic bilayer islands of palladium and iron on an Ir(111) substrate is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy at low temperatures. It is shown that the spin spiral propagation direction is determined by the...
