a The side view and b the top view of the model crystal structure of Co/Pt/Pd-based multilayer system. The M direction for the propagation of the spin-spiral wave is indicated by the red arrow in (b). c Anticlockwise rotation of the spin-spiral structures. The calculated N dependence of d the odd term of MCA energies \(E_{{\rm{MCA}}}^{{\rm{odd}}}\) and e the DMI for the [Pt/Co/Pd]N model systems, while those obtained for the bulk system are shown using straight lines. The N dependence of the total MCA energies EMCA of the [Pt/Co/Pd]N model systems and the corresponding bulk value are shown in (d) using dashed lines.
