When two magnetic layers are separated by a metallic spacer, an interlayer exchange coupling can occur. Recently, it has been shown that interlayer Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions can also occur, driving chiral spin canting in the magnetic layers. Here, Arregi et al. demonstrate a large interlayer Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in Co/Ag/Co multilayers, which occurs despite the weak atomic spin-orbit coupling of the Ag spacer layer.
