Tailoring Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction in a transition metal dichalcogenide by dual-intercalation

Abstract

The complex spin textures induced by the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) allow for a host of intriguing phenomena, however the strength of the DMI is typically fixed. Here, Zheng et al. demonstrate the controlled modulation of the DMI, via solid state ionic gating of a transition metal dichalcogenide.
