Mesoscale phenomena will transform nanomagnetism research to the next level [1], as they add complexity and functionality, which are essential to meet future challenges of spin driven devices.

A priori, one would assume that the formation of magnetic vortex states should exhibit a perfect symmetry, because the magnetic vortex has four degenerate states. We report on the direct observation of an asymmetric phenomenon in the formation process of vortex states in a permalloy nanodisk by magnetic full field transmission soft x-ray microscopy [2]. Micromagnetic simulations confirm that an intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii*Moriya interaction is decisive for the asymmetric formation of vortex states.
