The objective is to investigate the interplay between magnetic domain structures (or skyrmions) in samples with Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy (PMA) and chiral polypeptides. Using Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) center-based continuous wave Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (cw-ODMR) for stray magnetic field imaging in wide-field with a spatial resolution of ∼ 0.8 µm and magnetometric sensitivity up to sub-µT/√Hz range within a field of view (FOV) of approximately 60 × 60 µm2, we study how chiral molecules influence magnetic textures including magnetic domain pinning and coercive force changes. The Chirality Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) effect provides a unique mechanism for manipulating spin orientations through molecular symmetry, offering the potential to control and enhance magnetic domain behavior. This NV-based imaging technique paves the way for advanced magnetic materials and spintronic devices by enabling precise nanoscale analysis of magnetic textures. This work is supported by the Carl Zeiss Stiftung and conducted in collaboration with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.
