      abstract     = {Vector spin chirality is one of the fundamental
                      characteristics of complex magnets. For a one-dimensional
                      spin-spiral state it can be interpreted as the handedness,
                      or rotational sense of the spiral. Here, using
                      spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy, we demonstrate
                      the occurrence of an atomic-scale spin spiral in finite
                      individual bi-atomic Fe chains on the (5 x 1) similar to
                      Ir(001) surface. We show that the broken inversion symmetry
                      at the surface promotes one direction of the vector spin
                      chirality, leading to a unique rotational sense of the
                      spiral in all chains. Correspondingly, changes in the spin
                      direction of one chain end can be probed tens of nanometers
                      away, suggesting a new way of transmitting information about
                      the state of magnetic objects on the nanoscale.},
