Tuning scalar spin chirality in ultrathin films of the kagome-lattice ferromagnet Fe3Sn

Magnetic skyrmions are swirling topological spin textures induced by chiral interactions in non-centrosymmetric systems. Here, a Pt-Fe3Sn bilayer exhibits a thickness-dependent magnetic anisotropy and interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction that are key to the controlled stabilization of a sky...
