Exchange- and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions in magnetic bilayers at surfaces — •Tim Drevelow, Mara Gutzeit, and Stefan Heinze — Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, University of Kiel, Leibnizstraße 15, 24098 Kiel, Germany

Magnetic skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnets exhibit favorable transport properties [1], e.g. the absence of the skyrmion Hall effect and have recently been stabilized at room temperature [2]. Here, we investigate synthetic antiferromagnets built from trilayers composed of Co and Fe layers coupled via a Rh spacer layer. Ab initio calculations using density functional theory were performed to obtain the strength of the inter- and intralayer exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions which allows to parametrize an atomistic spin model. We studied freestanding trilayers as well as trilayers on the Ir(111) surface since both Rh/Co and Rh/Fe bilayers have previously been grown on this surface [3,4].
