abstract = {Centrosymmetric bulk magnets made of layered Gd
intermetallics had been discovered recently to exhibit
helical spin spirals with a wavelength of ≈2 nm that
transform into skyrmion lattices at certain magnetic fields.
Here we report on the observation of a spin spiral state at
the Gd(0001) surface. Spin-polarized scanning tunneling
microscopy images show striped regions with a periodicity of
about 2 nm. These stripes rearrange upon application of an
external magnetic field, thereby unambiguously confirming
their magnetic origin. Density functional theory
calculations explain that competing exchange interactions in
the surface layer of Gd(0001) together with a magnetovolume
fine-tuning of the exchange interaction to the next Gd layer
favor a chiral 2 nm conical spin spiral at the surface,
arising as a general behavior of the Gd monolayer.},
