Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is a key aspect in magnetism that can lead to the appearance of chiral effects, such as the topological Hall effect [1], or to the formation of chiral noncollinear magnetic textures, as skyrmions or chiral domain walls [1]. Curvature effects in magnetism offer means to create chiral interactions like DMI based on the geometry of thin films [2]. This extrinsic tailoring of the DMI (strength and spatial orientation) is in stark contrast to conventional approaches, where chiral interactions are tuned relying on extensive material screening. Very recently, we provide the very first experimental confirmation of the existence of curvature-induced DMI in parabola-shaped Permalloy nanostripes [3,4]. The magnitude of the effect can be tuned by the parabola’s curvature and width, while its value is comparable with those experimentally reported for asymmetric Co sandwiches.
