To develop a phenomenological theory explaining chiral symmetry breaking driven by inhomogeneous chiral interactions in magnetic nanostructures.
Formulated a phenomenological theoretical framework incorporating induced, inhomogeneous Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya-type chiral interactions.
Applied the framework to evaluate magnetic thin films and multilayers with in-plane and out-of-plane magnetization configurations.
Predicted the emergence of modulated magnetic states and stable two-dimensional localized structures (vortices).
Demonstrated that these vortex patterns are intrinsically stable and confined to the nanometer scale, showing qualitative agreement with experimental observations.
