Chiral magnetic spin textures, such as skyrmions in ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AFM) systems are actively explored for future data storage and signal processing devices [1]. We use an archetype NiFe disk structure which is known to stabilize a half-skyrmionic texture (magnetic vortex state). Due to the topological nature, the reversal of the magnetic vortex core is mediated by the creation and subsequent annihilation of Bloch point singularities. Using high-resolution magnetic force microscopy, we show that the interfacial interactions between the chiral spin structure of the FM and AFM can cause significant distortion of the magnetic vortex structure. These interfacial interactions are further used to stabilize phase transformations in chiral nanoscopic spin systems. Experimental observations are further supported by topological arguments and micromagnetic modeling. [1] Albisetti. et al. Commun Phys 1, 56 (2018).
