Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction determined from spin wave nonreciprocity and magnetic bubble asymmetry in Pt/Co/Ir/Co/Pt synthetic ferrimagnets.

We present analysis of the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) on spin wave nonreciprocity and bubble expansion asymmetry in Pt/Co/Ir/Co/Pt synthetic ferrimagnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We propose analysis of the DMI by Brillouin Light Scattering technique (BLS) and Kerr microscopy (MOKE) in the presence of interlayer exchange coupling strongly changing spin wave dispersion law and field dependences of domain wall velocity in comparison with those observed earlier in Ir/Co/Pt structures with a single Co layer. We have determined DMI values of each Co layer from unusually inverted dependence of velocity of the domain wall on in-plane magnetic field. Opposite signs of effective fields and DMI fields in the two Co layers invert field dependence of the domain wall velocity. DMI energy determined from BLS is higher than values, determined by bubble expansion.
