Asymmetrically sandwiching thin magnetic layers with perpendicular anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) produces chiral non-trivial textures, e.g. skyrmions and chiral domain walls, which exhibit unexplored application potential in logic and memory devices [1]. Conversely, extrinsic DMI is observed by breaking local inversion symmetry appearing in curvilinear structures of conventional materials [2]. Here, employing ion beam irradiation of SiO2 substrates we fabricate corrugated ultra-thin Cr2O3/Co/Pt asymmetric layer stacks with different geometric parameters. By means of magnetometric and transport measurements, we demonstrate the appearance and controllability of mesoscale DMI [3] by tuning geometric and material parameters of the system.
