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

The coupling of magnetic skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnets leads to a significant reduction of skyrmion Hall effect and therefore enhanced transports properies [1]. We investigate antiferromagnets based on Rh/Fe and Rh/Co bilayers on an Ir(111) surface, which have previously been grown on this surface [2,3]. With an additional magnetic layer of Fe or Co, we find that these systems realize a synthetic antiferromagnet as a potential host for magnetic skyrmions. Considerations on the symmetry of magnetic states in multilayer systems allow to compute both exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions within and in between the magnetic layers with ab initio calculations using density functional theory.
