Dataset description
Magnetic multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy and an interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction contain chiral domain walls and skyrmions that are promising for applications. Here we measure the temperature dependence of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in Pt/CoFeB/Ir and Pt/CoB/Ir multilayers by means of static domain imaging. First, the temperature dependences of saturation magnetization ($M_{\rm{S}}$), exchange stiffness ($A$) and intrinsic perpendicular anisotropy ($K_{\rm{u}}$) are determined. Then the demagnetized domain pattern in each multilayer is imaged by wide-field Kerr microscopy in the temperature range 9-290 K, and the characteristic domain period at each temperature is determined. We calculate the DMI constant $D$ from an analytical expression for the domain wall energy density that treats the multilayer as a uniform medium. Scaling laws for $K_{\rm{u}}$ and $D$ with the magnetization are established from the experiments. While the scaling of $K_{\rm{u}}$ is consistent with Callen-Callen theory, we find that the scaling of $D$ is similar to that of $A$ predicted theoretically ($\sim1.8$).
