  1. PBC is the periodic boundary conditions, \(\alpha\) represents the Landau-Lifshitz damping constant, \(\hbox {D}_{\text {bulk}}\) is the bulk DMI, \(\hbox {A}_{\text {ex}}\) is the material’s exchange stiffness, the saturation magnetisation is \(\hbox {M}_{\text {sat}}\), anisU is the uniaxial anisotropy direction and \(\hbox {K}_{\text {u1}}\) is the 1st order uniaxial anisotropy constant.
