Popis: Magnetic crystals with broken chiral symmetry possess intrinsic spinorbit driven Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Geometrically broken symmetry in curvilinear magnetic systems also leads to the appearance of extrinsic to the crystal exchange driven effective DMI [1,2]. The interplay between the intrinsic and geometrical-induced DMI paves the way to a mesoscale DMI, whose symmetry and strength depend on the geometrical and material parameters [3]. We demonstrate this approach on the example of a helix with intrinsic DMI. Adjusting the helical geometry allows to create new artificial chiral nanostructures with defined properties from standard magnetic materials. For instance, we propose a novel approach towards artificial magnetoelectric materials, whose state is controlled by means of the geometry. [1] Y. Gaididei et. al, Phys. Rev.
