The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and spin-orbit torque driven domain wall motion in Co/Ni multi-layers with a Ptx(Ir,Au)1−x seedlayer

We use Kerr microscopy to characterize magnetic domain walls in Co/Ni based magnetic nanowires grown on a Pt seedlayer with a thin Ptx(Ir,Au)1−x buffer layer. The buffer layer composition enables control of the interfacial DMI vector as measured from the asymmetric bubble expansion technique while t...
