Spontaneous domain nucleation under in-plane fields in ultrathin films with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

In this paper, we show that applying a hard axis field reduces the energy barrier for the spontaneous formation of a multi-domain state in magnetic ultrathin films sandwiched between a heavy metal and an oxide. This provides a simple technique to generate a metastable multi-domain state in magnetic...
